Writing the good read
I read with interest your plans to publish a sanitized version of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. I know that removing the “N” word is controversial, but you really just want to protect sensibilities of those who are offended by the word. I get it. So here are some other books I think you should consider…
You might think that your words and actions — talking of putting people in the “cross-hairs” and putting gun-sites on various districts — don’t matter. But they do. Didn’t you teach your children to think before they speak? Did you tell them that what they say and the words they choose matter? Maybe not, given…
A few questions and comments: First, if this was a church or synagogue, would you still be opposed to this? Think hard before you answer. Be truthful. If so, you’re being hypocritical. Are you one of those people saying, “Anywhere but there”? Do you say you have nothing against mosques in general? You aren’t alone…
I suppose this is the first time in a long time you have been disappointed in your son, Colton Harris-Moore. His capture in the Bahamas went directly against what you had told him to do: evade authorities and find a place that had no extradition treaty with the United States. Maybe he didn’t know the…
It’s no secret that politically speaking, I’m a liberal democrat. I keep thinking about what it might have been like if you had become president rather than Barack Obama. I was very torn during the primaries. I wasn’t sure you could win. I wasn’t sure he could lead. I actually felt you’d both be good…
I find myself chagrined to be writing a letter to you. That’s not what I envisioned when I started this blog. However, I saw a picture of you in court the other day and almost fainted. No matter what color your hair or how strung out you were, you used to be a really pretty…
I’ve been a fan of Lost since it started. I used to tell Husband he Really Needed to Watch this Show, but he didn’t believe me. Until this season when he irritatingly got into it and kept asking me question after question about who was who and what meant what. Mostly, I couldn’t answer. I’m…
I just spent an hour going through all my privacy settings on Facebook. At least I think I did. There’s no easy way to tell whether I’m done or not, no easy little setting that I can click on from the start that says, “Hey, just don’t share any of my info with anyone other…
I don’t know where to begin with you. I’m not going to agree with your Libertarian politics, and you won’t agree with my tree hugging practically communist brand of liberalism. So let’s not try to find common ground there. But here’s something I think we can agree on: freedom of speech. You can’t stand up…
So you don’t think Roman Polanski can be punished? How ’bout you deliver up one of your young daughters to him when she turns 13 in a couple years. If he drugs her and has sex with her, then tell me if you still think that he’s suffered enough. Lisa
