She may be wonderful with animals, kind to children, a good friend to other females. But did you ever see her interact with her husband? Do you know why she has (apparently) had at least 3 husbands? Look, I know the woman is hurting in horrible ways we can't even imagine. I'm not saying that's right. I just want the point to be made that she very well may have provoked some of this. Did she see her ex as a worthwhile person, with the right to a life of his own? I just want all the facts. There have been too many cases of men who, with nowhere else to go, take their children's lives in the belief that that is the only way to protect them (and being the protector is how men are "wired"), then end their own lives, because they see no future for themselves. They have been so completely devalued by the women, and the courts have validated her claims, that death seems to be the only solution.

These tragedies are not going to stop until our government either gets the heck out of our personal lives, or the women of this country begin to value their men again.

Yes, actually, I did know her as a wife. I knew both her and the first husband, who was also a vet. And she had two marriages total, one to Dr. Willis, with whom she had the three that were now the teenagers, and this one, Hogan, with whom she had the young daughter. There was not a vindictive bone in this womans body. She was happy to make the sacrifices necessary to be a good mom and wife. A straight, decent, good woman, wife, mother. And apropos nothing, she was beautiful and lovely; a warm nature and just kind, kind, kind. Pillars, your anger at 'woman who wreck men', which is often justified and which I often share, is clouding you here. You have nothing to go on other than this article, and you are being very quick to assume that she must, somehow, have 'deserved' this. I know you cant mean it. Pray for the men who are harmed by shallow and manipulative women, but pray for Dr. McFadden. She needs it now as much as any human can.

I certainly hope that you are not married or have furthered your genes. You are downright scary, Mister. Do you really believe that there will be lots more men capable of brutally murdering innocents because they believe that their wives weren't treating them right or who don't want any government laws that protect families from abuse because it interferes with their "personal lives?" Your reasoning is deranged--as was this dispicable act. No excuses--not for that misrable mother Andrea Yates or this sadistic control-freak who murdered his own child and three other children in order to get back at his ex-wife!!!
