The good Doctor is giving up her radio show. Lets look back in fond rememberance at one of the highlights which preceeded her recent racially tinged rant and the use of the N Word. Of course the N word was not the point.

the following letter has made the round of the internet for over a decade.

Letter to Dr. Laura

Dear Dr. Laura:

 Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law.
 I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that
 knowledge with as many people as I can.  When someone tries to
 defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them
 that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other
elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.

1.Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and
female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations.  A
friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not
Canadians.  Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

2.I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
 Exodus 21:7.  In this day and age, what do you think would be a
fair price for her?

3.I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in
her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24.  The problem
is how do I tell?  I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4.When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it  creates
a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9.  The problem is my
neighbors.  They claim the odor is not pleasing to them.  Should I
smite them?

5.I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath.  Exodus 35:2
 clearly states he should be put to death.  Am I morally
 obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6.A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an  abomination,
 Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than  homosexuality.  I don't agree.
 Can you settle this?  Are there 'degrees' of abomination?

7.Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of
 God if I  have a defect in my sight.  I have to admit that I wear reading
 glasses.  Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8.Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the
 hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden
 by Lev. 19:27.  How should they die?

9.I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig
  makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10.My uncle has a farm.  He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two
 different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing
 garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester
 blend).  He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot.  Is it really
 necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town
 together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to
 death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep
 with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

 I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy
 considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can  help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and
unchanging.

Your adoring fan.
