I agree with LM, it's nice to be able to have the freedom to express a variety of opinions. Unfortunate that some are unable to do so without denegrating others or resorting to name-calling.
Susan, my comments to you were in no way snide. I have made no assumptions or rude comments about you or your marriage and have in no way disparaged what you do for a living. I really can't imagine a way to be more direct. Your haste to judge others, make assumptions about their experiences and the types of relationships they have been in, and reduce the lives of others to mere cliches is saddening. It's one thing to disagree with another person, quite a different thing to attempt to belittle them or pass judgment on one you know almost nothing about - public figure or otherwise.
p.s. - nice addition, Colly!
