1. I really don't know what to say anymore...
It'd be nice if she spent some time working with AMERICA'S adolescents.

Especially as our corporate leaders, at least on the surface, appear to be reshaping America to be as much a land of "extreme hardships and exclusion" no different than South America.

Well, not entirely - they (the South Americans) obviously have sex, so they've got something to make them happy...

Maybe she'll do a story on America once we are kicked to 3rd world status? We're almost there already...

I do feel sorry for the mother of which Jenna speaks... on the other hand, the Republican party talks of no sex before marriage, no infidelity, drugs are illegal, and so on - AIDS to them is an illness of choice. So why is she full of tears and pity when her own peers would be understandably dead-set against shedding even one tear? Is Jenna a closet liberal?

I'm also Generation X so I sure as hell don't know where the sarcasm ends and criticism begins...

4. Is Margaret Truman available?
I'll wait to pass judgment until I hear more about the project.

Nice to hear that Jenna was touched by this woman's story.
