I think this is an important dialogue for the world to be having: how to treat those who are the most despised with humanity while we still assure that society is safe.<br /><br />Anything less and we lose our own sense of humanity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437830556630350204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361358365193630538.post-80951563686630889792011-02-25T17:03:49.969-08:002011-02-25T17:03:49.969-08:00Karen, great article.

They have assaulted their way through life, leaving behind a swath of psychic destruction to children and women". While this is often true, it is often NOT true, as well. There are many languishing in these "treatment" facilities who have left no psychic scars whatsoever on children and who pose no future threat to them, either. Not a popular thing to assert, I admit, but true nonetheless. In deed, many of them ARE morally superior to those who are paid to treat them. And, I believe that you would agree, if only privately. For that, I can't blame you, given the radioactivity emanating from this subject.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542025184951817050noreply@blogger.com
