Brave poster. You're about to get flamed, I'm sure.

This is a sad and disturbing case on many levels. As I have listened this week to the hysterical know-it-alls, I have wondered how many of them have coped with a relative who is profoundly mentally ill.

I have. Twice. Two gentlemen, good providers and good citizens, both crazy as loons when not under medication. Close kin to each other. You have to wonder about genetics.

I would never have left my children alone with either of them.

Supervised care for the mentally ill is hard to come by and expensive. As soon as the medication takes effect and they can think clearly, they must be turned loose. Feeling better, feeling no need for meds, the cycle starts again, and they're on the road to being a danger once again to themselves and to others.

I hurt for everyone involved in the Yates case.

Some time last year a business executive murdered his twin daughters. His wife went shopping with an older child and left him at home with the twins. He had been undergoing psychiatric treatment for depression.

I don't recall anyone insisting the woman was responsible for the murders of those two beautiful little girls.

There is something sick about the transference of blame from Andrea to her husband.

Many of these same people are against birth control, and are constantly ranting against the public school system in America.
