So, generally, her advice is sound. Except on this subject?

No. I wrote that "some" of her advice has been good, not that her advice in general is sound. And I've stopped listening to her. She makes me hyper in the same way Larry King does. That impatience with callers -- can't tolerate it. It's why I listen to Rush instead.

I was arriving home or starting to teach classes angry and upset after listening to her....and it wasn't that the topics hit a nerve, it was like I'd spent 30 minutes watching someone torture puppies. I started out liking her and really grew to find her contemptible.

Now I listen to Flamenco CD’s if I need excitement :)

I found a lot of Dr. Laura's advice bad. She claims to champion intact two parent families, but in almost every situation I heard her presented with, she told the woman she was justified breaking the family up. Once a single mom she would tell them they had to give up romance until the kids were grown. Didn't strike me that people who took her advice would end up very happy.

I didn't like the way she treated many callers, either. I don't listen anymore.
