Sonny

What amazes me about Laura is how little she knows about psychology! She cites some lame story about hostile bloggers having health problems because of “pent up anger”. Actually, the reverse is true. Free blog speech is good for you whether you are angry or lovey dovey. It scares people like Dr. Laura because it exposes them to their flock..and that means losing money and control. To muddle things further, her son had the blog that was violent, hostile, angry and racist while enlisted in the Armed Services.. perhaps she needs to clean her own house first.

Next, her strange rambling wordy essay about society and family deterioration , obviously it is about her son’s military problems, but she conveniently blames everyone else….and labels them “evil-doers”….

"Unfortunately, bad things happen sometimes. Some of those bad things are forces of nature: hurricanes, mudslides, tornados, earthquakes, and disease. While life, death, loss, and injury are horrendous experiences to deal with, psychologically we are somewhat more philosophical about these encounters with horror because they aren’t “personal.”
“Personal” horrors, on the other hand, include intentional harm to the body, soul, property, psychological well-being and reputation of another for political, egotistical, or financial gain - or for the simple pleasure derived from having the power to destroy. These experiences turn out to be more difficult to cope with, because they are not seen as “the stuff that could and has happened to anyone.”
In addition, there is great compassion and sympathy for those struck by nature, while a profound fear of helping is the general response to personal attacks on an innocent party, lest one get caught in the sights of the evil-doer"…
