Superb! I've heard plenty of others who felt this way, but she puts it into an eloquent, touching letter that makes me question some of my own opinions. I've always been afraid of people like Christian Fundamentalists and extreme conservatives, but I think that those who have fears on both sides are turning those fears into hurtful insults without realizing the pain they cause people of those leanings. Previously, I made myself promise to try to stop making fun of Bush and to try to see him as a person trying his best for his beliefs rather than someone who's hell-bent on making my life miserable. After all, the man doesn't even know my name! This may be a useful exercise for others interested in becoming more open-minded. --LL
