I am writing in regards to John Zeigler's Sept. 2 letter about single mothers. I actually had to read the letter twice, because I found it hard to believe that much hatred could be contained in so few words.

I am writing in response to John Ziegler's letter that appeared in the Daily Record on Tuesday 9/2/08. Mr. Ziegler has cast all the problems of fatherhood on women. That we choose to be single mothers. We do not want the fathers of our children in their lives and in to many cases that we choose to support ourselves and our children on far less money than our children's fathers make.

This is in response to a Viewpoints piece by Rev. Robert Nugent (John Edwards and the stone throwers - August 17, 2008). Father Nugent lays out a convincing case for "forgiving" John Edwards of his marital infidelity and for allowing him to seek public office because of his other leadership qualities. Of course, Fr. Nugent is right. We should "forgive" Edwards just as we would hope for forgiveness for our transgressions. However, it seems to me, that to gloss over this as a minor character flaw in favor of his other positive qualities is just asking for trouble. That's not how the world works and for good reason.

Anyone else tired of reading Norman Fulkerson's hogwash? It is all well and good to point to studies that show for instance, that homosexuality is a "brain altering" activity. I would have Norman remember though that studies are just that - studies. Beacuse one scientist, sociologist, theologist, etc., bases his/her conclusion on their study does not make it gospel. This is especially true when one can find studies on the same topic, with a completely different conclusion. In the case of homosexuality, there are many studies that show homosexuality to be a genetic factor, ie., not a choice.
I suppose my main point is this. Norman, mind your own business. No one can control the world. Keep your gay-hating ways to yourself and let people live their lives in peace. I'm sure homosexuals leave you and your ultra-"Christian" ways alone. You could at least have the decency to do the same concerning them.

In his letter "Discrimination against gays unfair" Harry Brown makes an erroneous affirmation that homosexuals are born that way.
Research projects done by Dr. Simon Levay, a practicing homosexual, have been commonly misinterpreted to support this conclusion. In his book, "The Sexual Brain," Dr. Levay said that there are "subtle, but significant differences" between the brain structures of homosexual and normal men.
