Welcome to BE.
Thanks for the link....seems that maybe Rusty shouldn't be in his 'high profile job with NASA'....he should be in the same institution as Andrea.

Gotta love religous fanatics, regardless of what religion they belong to. Glad to see they finally passed a law barring protestors at funerals due to that nut job in Kansas. Even stranger is that you have the ACLU trying to defend them!

Thank you, I've been lurking for over a year and finally decided to come out of my closet and actually become a member.
I feel like I know you all already, which is a bit spooky.

It is a terrible tragedy.

Therein lies the crux of my argument. You knew it was wrong and did not act on those feelings or thoughts. She knew it was wrong and still acted on those feelings and thoughts. IMO - she is a sociopath without a conscience or at best a borderline personality. These are mental conditions - they do not constitute insanity. Every day men and women walk out on their spouses and children because they can't handle the responsibility - I can live with that type of behavior. Drowning your kids is a little OTT.
I have personally wanted to punch my invalid mother in the face ...... more than once
.... but instead I just snap at her instead - and then end up feeling guilty for having done that. And why the hell is she looking all stupid and baby-faced in the courtroom all of sudden?!?!?! I THINK SHE IS A COMPLETE FAKE.
Hi, Cinnabar.

Glad you got over it. Mine was pretty mild, but still.
Whenever I see his name I want to use all the Greek words that I know, and yes, THEY'RE the only words I know in Greek..
