These women can do whatever they please with their faces, and I assume they do. However, to have darling Kate at the tender age of 33 (!) lumped in with those of us in our 60s - dear me.

Sometimes you want a little "help" - those "elevens" aren’t so charming at the daughter’s wedding when you are faced with the first husband’s third or fourth wife. So what? Botox is not permanent - just a little pick me up for the insecure. Not all of us are born with nerves, or other body parts, made of steel, you know.

Do what you want to enjoy your life. Some of you are so darn negative I begin to wonder if you consider teeth-brushing too much of an improvement over "nature taking its course".

Perfect.

Whew! This invective is fatiguing - I believe I am hearing screeching harpies. In my opinion the reason that Ms Ferraro (along with some participants in this discussion) will not let go of the race issue is this: in the South, it has long been said that we love black people as individuals, but fear them as a race. In the North, the reverse is true. The way you are carrying on, you would think Barack Obama is from another planet. He is in fact a middle-class, well-educated, well-spoken mid-Western liberal who is more qualified to be our president than any other candidate. I am a white 61-year-old mother of four, and I strongly support Sen. Obama’s candidacy. And I have never watched MTV!
