          <body><![CDATA[umm... maybe you're right. My sincere apologies for the cavalier tone on a serious subject.  I cerntainly did not mean to make light of her suffering.   to be thought of as low and creepy and yucky (and worse, part of the media!) is pretty bad.  I have a feeling she might have shrugged if she heard it, and thought that was another point that she could have put into the book, (the self-deception she writes of throughout)  but that's a much bigger, more complicated thought that probably shouldn't have been glibly tossed off.  So thanks for the heads up,and I hope you'll accept the apology. ]]></body>
