Andy: All's Fair in Love and the Culture War
He sat at his desk and turned on his computer. As it came to life, he gazed out at the mountains and turned words over in his head. They arrived without effort, as if from above:
Dear Dr. Dobson,He entered the e-mail address, the subject line "question for doctor Dobson from Ben," and pressed "send."I’m a 12-year-old boy named Ben and me and my friends think that letting girls put their mouth down there doesn’t really count. What do Jesus and you think?
Ben
Dr. James Dobson chuckled, turned off his computer, and went to count his millions.

Sucks, doesn't it?
I can't decide if it's because people don't know who James Dobson is - or if they do and they actually like him.
Oh well, tomorrow I'm writing about flowers and kittens and such.

Folks should rate the quality of the writing and not use the rating as a comment on the writer's personal political / religious /whatever viewpoints.
As a personal aside, I largely agree with Dr. Dobson. I like to think that viewpoint is a by-product of maturity but I'm sure others would disagree.
That's okay, too. This site is about the writing and it's a lot of fun.
So don't take the ratings so personal. I know I won't pay much attention to them when I inevitably write about the foibles of bleeding heart liberals.
