Dr Laura

Dr Laura, it's an honor to speak with you. Im a long time listener first time caller and i want your advice.
My sister
My husband
My girlfriend
My son...
And on it goes. It's the ultimate in "reality radio". Dr Laura is a wild diva of domesticity who was really out there today -
Today (and i try to catch her Every Day if i can...) Today she told
a young girl that it was not important for her to go to college because its just a big liberal wastoid party and nobody learns anything in college anymore. And that she should only go if it is necessary for her chosen profession. She RAILED on all colleges in America. She didnt mention Canada...Just railed on and on that its all about politically correct and feminism and men are marginalized (this is a big one for her)
That was pretty radical, lady! And even more radical was that i Sort of Agree with her, not totally, i actually believe that intellectualism, which thrives in academia, is actually very important to society but at the same time, i would never force my daughter to go to college, especially if she didnt want to and i believe that college can be a waste of time for some people, if they are not intellectually fascinated, which is surely A Lot of people
Dr Laura also advocates that women NEVer say No to a sexual come on from her husband. radical. and i thought, scary. What if i decided to never say no to my husband? i would be a sex slave. Dr laura, do you want me to be a sex slave? what if the baby cries? Dr Laura how long do i let the baby cry while I do my husband?
Dr Laura? I have wanted to call you ever since i started listening about 10 years ago. But i never really knew what to ask. At first, I wanted to argue with you and take you to the mat as a flaming single liberal feminist woman. But now i have a child and i am actually at home, listening to you as i care for my one year old girl. I feel your compassion for the defenceless childeren and i admire your advocacy work. But the unborn are just not children yet. Especially the ultra micro fetuses. They are fish. Just little fish. They are OUR fish, but we are in charge of choosing if they are meant to become children. That is a woman's choice. There are far too many unwanted children in the world.
And Dr Laura - although i didnt hear the whole letter, I heard that she was reading out a letter from a gay fan who lived her life to dr lauras rules to the t except for the gender part - and dr laura seemed really positive about this "responsible" gay woman. This was very cool because i was listening way back when dr laura was Super Homophobic. And now, shes realizing her position as a potential hero to the gay community a la tammy fae or dolly parton or other over the top ladies... Could dr laura ever become "fabulous" one day?
