Dear Ann Landers,
ou are a menace to society. You really gave every irresponsible skirt-chasing male in the world the green light when you said on a TV program recently, "Unless a boy uses chloroform or a lead pipe, the girl is re-sponsible for whatever happens to her." For twenty years I have been a housemother for unmarried mothers. These girls are victims of weapons far more deadly than chloroform or lead pipes. They are sweet words of love and empty promises. It's high time parents taught their sons that girls are not play-things to be used for pleasure and then cast aside if something goes wrong. Every young man should be taught that a decent 190 boy is responsible for his girl. Several of my pregnant girls saw and heard you make that remark, and they became depressed because you placed all the blame on them. This letter is to let you know that I am canceling the subscription to the paper that prints your column.-Housemother

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
