Only the nutty and the romantically immature think about marrying in this day and age.

Dr.Laura, you have 'hit the nail' on the head with this book. Hope, only that the true woman pays heed.

Well I don't think most men want their wives to be "submissive." But certainly they don't want their wives to be carping shrews, scheming gold-diggers and selfish, materialistic "career-oriented" women either. Unfortunately these are the types of women that most "feminists" become.

I do not share your dire views on marriage. There are good women to be found (I was fortunate enough to find one for myself). But a man these days must be very wary of marriage. Marrying the wrong woman can destroy your life.

I would say that most of these undesireable women give plenty of warning signs during courtship that a man ought to be able to pick up on. For example, if your date scowls when you order a steak in a restaurant and launches into a diatribe on how unethical it is to eat animal flesh, well, there's your sign.

It's amazing how many men are lured in by these types of women, captivated by their good looks and physical beauty. Only after marriage do they reveal themselves as the witches that they are. I was fortunate to be born with a "shrew" detector. A shrew in a beautiful body doesn't fool me for a minute.

I was going to "rag" you, but anyone who has a photo of Christopher Hitchens on their web page, can't be that bad.





Besides, you may be of the quality that would bury me in linguistic abuse

That would be the few, the proud, the parents who raise children for the next generation that will inherit the rights and responsibilities to defend this Republic. I know we who do this are fast becoming a minority. Without us this nation will not survive.

President and Mrs. Bush have an extremely solid marriage. They are setting a good example as role models. Marriage must never become out-dated.

It's up to us to take back the respectability that the left, the media etc. try to strip away from marriage and society. It's going to take time and giving up, as you seem to have done, is not an option.

Clever Judo-attempt dodge. Going to tell us it's working for you?
