>I'm trying to understand what she did that was so, so awful. Worthless I understand, but awful.....? Can you tell me?

Think of her children,
growing up (the one that lived)
in a world with Mom

a whacked-out drug freak.
We can only guess what role
Anna's crazy life

played in her son's death.
Throwing away her own life
is awful enough

(in _all_ of the ways
she did it), involving kids
makes it real awful.

I mean, compare her
to Courtney Love. Courtney Love
at least was tangent

to a real artist
and maybe contributed
to inspiring

one or two good songs
and never, I don't believe,
dragged children into

her worthless mess life.
Anna was just worthless mess,
no tangents at all.

There were times when she seem so human and real and vulnerable that I could not help but like her and feel for her.

Am I understanding that you are saying that Courtney Love, because of her tangential relationship to the weirdo Curt Cobain, is MORE valuable than Smith?

Good heavens!

Mat 7:1 "Judge not, lest you be judged.

Mat 7:2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with what measure you measure, it will be measured back to you.

Mat 7:3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not notice the plank in your own eye?

She did not abort her children (at least the two that we know of).

She did not physically abandon them.

Unfortunately everyone is not born in a PERFECT family setting.

Are you kidding? Courtney Love exposed her daughter to her "whacked out drug freak life" and lost full custody of her daughter due to her drug use.
