Ms Nowicki,

I want to send a note of gratitude for writing on this tragedy. As a political activist, writer, and professional dominatrix, I usually only read such supportive sentiments from women within the sex industry. I am relieved to know that other strong, intelligent women may have sympathy for the shame that is loaded onto sex workers that is psychologically crippling and life destroying. I understand that while you may not support the legality of the profession, your call for equality is a great one, still an important one; for though we’ve come a long way, we are not there yet.

Thank you,
Yin

Though a minister, my family, too, has shared many of the trials of making life decisions.
It can be heart rending for parents to let go their child and trust they will come back home.
But if we want them to come back at all we must leave on a light of love.
We have had the undaunting task of choosing to hold onto loved ones who did not share our values and beliefs by loving them in spite of their life choices. We’ve learned true love and reaped the invaluable and priceless rewards of our family’s love long after the trial was over.
My counsel to anyone who finds themselves in this position is…love…perfect love. Love them. Fathers love your daughters no matter the choices they make. Mothers love your sons no matter their orientation. If you choose to avoid them and enforce your “rathers” you will lose them and they will never come back to you.
The “church” has miserably failed in our so-called quest for souls. We are too busy staining our glass windows to see the stains outside. We’re too busy padding our pews and offering plates and repairing broken parking lots to pad hearts with love and repair broken hearts and communities.
I have no web site but in this spirit I offer an email address through which I offer prayer, encouragement , and support at jharnage7@aol.com.

I would encourage anyone to examine Diane Dimond’s blog at http://www.DianeDimond.net.

The charge has been made that Deborah Jeane Palfrey committed suicide…because she didn’t believe in heaven or hell and was material. I took issue with that statement…was invited onto CNN’s Nancy Grace to explain…and offered an email reply from Deborah Palfrey to my attempt to encourage her from a minister’s as well as a loving father’s position.
Her reply contained too many Biblical expressions to allow me to accept that she did not have an awareness of the next world.
After examination of the suicide notes and pertinent info I find it difficult to accept her death as asuicide.
Albeit, I am strongly concerned that the “bad-boys-will-be-boys and “bad-girls-are-hos” mentality that glaringly pervades this society in everything from politics to justice to religion played the strongest part in this unfortunate drama.
I wish no one ill and rejoice at no one’s unfortunate position but if we are truly concerned about the crime why aren’t all parties including “johns” forced into the equation of accountability?
We are as much responsible to preserve dignity in death as we are to preserve the sanctity of life.
My heart and prayers go out to her mother and sister.

You conspiracy nuts miss the point: The post is absolutlely right. Why in God’s name should the person who supplied prostitutes to a United States Senator be facing 4 to 6 years in jail while the Senator remains untouched? Shame on this once great nation. We are toast.

Are these comments intended as farce or is that just the way they seem?

I dont think anyone reading about this will believe it is suicide, but the real question is, what can be done? Even if we know it isnt suicide, what power do we have to do anything about it? If we thought it would do any good, many of us would probably fly to DC and scream from a rooftop that we know this is false, but would anyone listen?

I agree, not a suicide – best bet is someone had to take her out before she disclosed her list of clients. Nothing to it – just another in a long list of cover-ups! The Morals in America? Shame on those involved.

I do not believe she committed suicide – really, this is another cover-up, cover-up! Is there another brave investigator who is willing to find the truth for her mother’s sake? Let’s guess, shall we, how many of the Congressmen and Senators were clients, past and present? Tell us, was ABC bought off? By whom? Morals in America, Amen!!
