If memory serves me correctly, very tragically -- Ellen Goodman's son committed suicide years ago. Very sad situation. Perhaps she's not gotten over it yet; possibly also blames "Bush" for her son's suicide? It'd be part and parcel of the lib philosophy...
No,in 1991 she would have blamed Reagan. Remember, everything was Reagan's fault until he died and that mantle was passed to W. NOW, everything is Bush's fault.
Your memory serves you correctly: her son did commit suicide, I believe he actually set himself on fire in Harvard Square. Gee, he must have felt really nurtured, God forgive me. V's wife
Why do "progressives" always project their worst qualities and traits onto conservatives? Who is less diverse than they are? Who is less tolerant? You cares about families less? Who is less nurturing? Who cares about innocent life less? They have turned hypocrisy into a genuine science!
T'would seem to me that she draws painful attn to her own child's tragic end when she writes to criticize other parents, particularly on bogus political grounds.
