Annie's Bourgeois Mailbox

Annie's Mailbox is a magnet for stupidity. It seems Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar will answer any question as long as it isn't about Howard Stern's penis.

Why in the heck do you advice columnists always assume everyone under the sun will benefit from counseling? It's not free, it's not cheap, and many people don't even have medical insurance. Counseling is for a privileged few.

That's true if by "privileged few" she means "anyone with a job." The columnists kindly inform the clueless reader that not all counseling is expensive, but it's hard not to wish they had told her to go to Cuba and rot.
