Thank you.

Ms. Cosin herself said she was "gonna get deep for a minute," right at the beginning of her post. I'm sorry to hear that she lost her cousin. Perhaps the status update, being a personal expression of grief, was never meant to be subjected to public scrutiny and comment. But you presented it as a line of thought worthy of consideration, which all the commenters did, but rejected as being unworthy. She may be quite wonderful, but all we have to go on are her words, lovely in their simplicity. The sad fact is that life is never as simple as we'd like it to be. While we enjoy life in our wealthy, progressive country, others struggle merely to survive. One woman's joyous bacon feast is another creature's misery and death. There's nothing wrong with being happy and blowing bubbles, but is that the best response we come up with in the face of death? It doesn't seem deep to me. Thanks again for responding.

Otherwise why record video?

Did it just come out that way by accident, or did he hear it somewhere else? I'd be a bit concerned Fri, 2 Dec 2011 03:55:02 +0000 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/11/mom-whats-fellatio/#IDComment231469212 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/11/forgiveness-is-overrated/#IDComment231431107 Oh, I just meant our standard of living (in some respects, not all) is so much higher here, compared to a lot of other places.
