Why bother with this silly column? The letters are heavily edited, if not faked altogether and the "touchy-feely" responses are always predictable and from the liberal side of the fence. You could probably program a computer to generate this column.

"Why bother with this silly column?"

It's worth bothering about because it is so exceptionally frank:

"She said her uncle had told her that Gore thought it was OK to kill babies, and if I was voting for him, so did I. I tried to explain about a woman's right to choose -- and that I DO think a woman should have that choice, but I was so shocked I hardly knew how to defend myself."

Mom is stuttering all over herself telling her daughter that she does think it's okay to kill babies. The brutality of "choice" is exposed for what it is, and that rarely happens in the press. I can't believe the column made it into print!

Thanks, madprof, for posting this.
