So is W going to pay child support for all the children born because their mothers could not buy birth control? He truly is an idiot.

Great suggestion, Frank. Thank you.

Thank you, Frank, for such a well-thought explanation.

I love Gadget Girl. Way too cool. I also like Skype. When my guy spendt time in New Zealand, recently, we both downloaded Skype and talked for free! We also had headsets. The clarity was great. We have since canceled our landline and will use our Skype phone exclusively at home.

Thank you, Bonnie. I was thinking the very same thing as I was reading the above posts. We should not allow either to continue. My take on why women don’t speak up is that we do. It’s just that we are accused od whining - “If you want to play with the big boys, you have to take the rough stuff like a man”. I’ve heard that way too many times. I heard it when I was in the Air Force and I hear it now.

What is there to rip apart? Ms McCain is truly a class act. For anyone to maintain a marriage for 28 years amazes me. She is a very strong role model for all women.

BCG, We all know Savage is an idiot. We also know that you have worked very hard to give M a good live. You are a hero. Don’t ever forget that.

Linda, yes you are brave. Your mother is lucky to have you as a daughter.

Borrowed, James. Borrowed. ‘Stole’ is such a nasty word, don’t you think?

Kelly, you put this very well. These issues need to be talked about over and over. I still don’t like the cover.

I mostly feel overwhelmed and discouraged. I think we need to know about some tragedies so we can work to correct the situations. It would be wonderful to also hear about people who make a positive difference. A balance.

James, Great questions.

Frannie, I wonder if they have secret handshakes! It would be too silly if they wern’t so dangerous. I wonder if WOW will here from the lawyers about this thread.

There is a website called Wikileaks.org that publishes a lot of the “secret” writings of the higher ups in Scientology. Very interesting reading. In my humble opinion, these people are nuts!

I understand that the magazine says it is satirical, but taken at face value, it doesn’t look satirical. There is nothing on the cover that labels it as satire. For a lot of people, the cover re-enforces the stereotypes.
