Great! You set a fine example for your child, I am sure. <- not sarcasm

To answer your questions:

No, but usually those missives are reserved for topics like happy unicorns
and fuzzy bunnies.

I'm sure all the cows that were slain for my sandals will be happy to hear
that. I'm also sure that all the Indonesians working for $3/day making my
Nikes will appreciate that too. And I'm also sure that you have completely
sussed me out based on the two or three emails I have sent today. (Trust
me, even after your five million emails to this list, I haven't assumed
anything about you yet.)

YES! God, that PISSES ME OFF so much I can't stand it! <- sarcasm (really,
truly)

->Do you always need to slam
->those type of people?

I wasn't slamming those kind of people (where the hell did you get that
from?), but if you prefer, you may cow-tow to the patriarchy that
perpetuates the wonderful stereotypes that women just need to be objects
not people.

It always fascinates me to see women - intelligent women - reading and
*believing* things like, "I have come with the magic formula so that you
don't look too clingy nor too dingy" or "Suck in your stomach right now!"
or "Tanned pudge is better than un-tanned pudge". Yeah.

Whatever. Have fun in California.
