[lbo-talk] from danielle to dani

[Sean Andrews]

I haven't had time to read much on the list lately (though I'm getting
around to a response to the popular philosophy thread) but I couldn't
tear myself away from this one.  Interesting for all the reasons you
mention and disturbing on many levels.  I was glad however, that they
did talk to the birth mom.  I worried she was being villified unjustly
for a part of it, that there must be something more to the story: that
little interview was enough to confirm that she actually was a
completely vile human being, even if she was also a bit insane.

I don't sympathize much with bible beaters, but if it helps the foster
parents (and her brother) help this girl it's ok by me.
