Dear Margaret,

I am in agreement with the general thrust of your post. However, please 
recognize that there are those who simply do not understand her personal 
mental anguish, so choose not to see the forest for the trees. Most of the 
regulars on here, us "Tonyaphiles", have a genuine, abiding, affection for 
the young lady and wish that she could live a straighter and narrower 
life. However, the past is prologue, as Shakespeare pointed out.

I recognize as you do that Tonya made her own bed which she now has to lie 
in, but I do not believe that she deserves the ignominy and hatred which 
has come her way. I have my reasons for believing this, and they are 
*very* good reasons. I would say this. A nation which would rank Tonya 
Harding below an individual who has been held liable for a double homicide 
is not a nation that has its' priorities right. Indeed, as H.L. Mencken 
pointed out: "No one ever lost any money overestimating the intelligence 
of the American people."

I only wish her the best, and hope that from here on in, beginning in 
Reno, she can find a better way.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
