Letter to Dr. Laura: Why can't I own a Canadian?

Letter to Dr. Laura: Why can't I own a Canadian?

I am sure that some here will know that famous letter already.
But it always makes good reading.

Here is an introduction:

And here is the actual letter:

I remember this. I did not remember if she ever responded. Seems she kind of did.

 

Yes.

It seems Dr. Laura Schlessinger wrote some kind of apology:

And it went on:

Now: Do you still think that we must obey all the rules in the Old Testament to the letter?

 

"The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly." (Jeremiah 23:20)

I am thinking that in our time period near death experience accounts may be a clarification of
the actual plan and simple will of the Creator for all of us at a whole new level that was not available even two to five centuries ago.

I feel old. I actually remember Laura being a thing, along with Judge Judy.

 

What kind of thing has Laura been?
Can you explain?

 

I have now read about it:

I recall my first instance of a similar diatribe on an episode of 'The West Wing'

 

@ diatribe

This letter here is Type 2 - not Type 1

 

Fine, but what's your point? Do you think that the readers aren't smart enough to get it?

 

What do YOU think?
Is this letter Type 2 or Type 1?

 

In the West Wing, definitely a diatribe directed at Dr. Jacobs. The letter, well, still thinking about that one. The language is pretty much the same in both. The target is the same in both. Given the near identical nature of both it is hard to see the difference, unless your point is that one was up close and personal and the other was in the form of a letter. The primary difference seems to be the delivery system.

 

One never knows, does one?

 

That scene on The West Wing is hilarious!

Truth in humor.

 

Very truthful - and very humorous!

 

That's a response to something different though, right? The apology was only meant to take her out of the line of fire, it doesn't resolve the issue of whether one can own a Canadian or why.

 

That is not the real issue anyhow.
Do you not understand irony and satire?

 

Can a Canadian own an American? Perhaps they simply got this backwards.

 

Well, I searched the web with keywords "Laura Schlessinger nude" and I am convinced that when she was young - she could convert many gays to a 'proper' sex.

 

I think you may be in the wrong part of the interwebs.

 

Thanks for the letter it was an entertaining read. This is the first I ever heard of it. I have vaguely heard of the name Dr. Laura before but am not familiar with her work. The letter was very well written but they forgot the /s.
