I do feel haunted by some of the letters and the suffering people have endured. But I keep in mind that the people who write to me know that I am a journalist and an on-line advice columnist, not a social service professional.

I marvel with distress that in 2015 we are fighting the vaccination wars. It is deeply disturbing that people who should be able to weigh discredited so-called studies instead believe garbage, and so are willing to endanger their children and others. I sincerely hope this madness burns itself out before a lot more people get hurt.

People often recommend, Why do you ask? as a good conversation stopper. But that really doesn't end the conversation, it just leaves the other person sputtering for a response. I like, You'll be the first to know..

Polygamy has an ancient history and is legal in many parts of the world. I find the rules of polygamy to be damaging and it's potentially dangerous to young girls and terrible for excess boys. But polyamory is supposed to be a more equal arrangement among agreeing adults.
