Well, first I'm really stunned by the incident, poor kids.for all we know she had some divine intervention..... and those three children were the next J.Dahlmer, C.Manson and G.W.Bush....three people this planet would have been a much better without in the first place.
and on the flip side....they could have been savants just as well.
But seriously...you can't necessarily dismiss a persons actions as anything but true, until you can positively disprove their intentions,.
A lot of wierd shiot happens in this world, and just because we think we are the greatest nation in the world...it doesn't give us one bit of insight into how M. nature wants things done.
Incarcerate her sure...but kill? What proof do we have that she didn't just save the world from a man made disaster?
This prolly sounds wierd coming from a guy that believes in public excecutions, and corporal punishment.
Let me know when you start running for office, and I WILL start voting again! Very well said. Sometimes the simple TRUTH is ignored for a profit. I guess http://huxley.net/ will win in the endIm gettin sick of seeing the this kind of thing happen, and only to find out some doctor had been prescribing antidepressants and/or some other mind farking drugs.
In the 90's the medical establishment told everyone to put their kids on Ritalin, and like sheep - everyone did it. Same goes for prozac, - which isnt popular now, - and xanax and blah, blah and blah. The kids didnt "have" anything. They werent "ADDHD" or any other bull
Maybe I'm taking this line of talk wrong, but there are REAL instances where medical intervention can help someone with chemical and hormonal imbalances, i.e. drugs...the body can get "out of whack" and had someone know this about some of these Moms, maybe their children would be here today. I'm not saying drugs work every time, but if there's a legit medical problem, they can helpLet me know when you start running for office, and I WILL start voting again! Very well said.

I agree with you to some extent J, but as a gal that's known of many new Moms that have suffered with postpartem depresssion and general depression, I can tell you that if you can get yourself leveled out CHEMICALLY, you're better off...if there are environmental factors contributing to your problems, that's an entirely different animal...I agree that in some instances medication can have a positive effect, but in far too many cases, prolly the majority, I suspect, they are of no use, or make the problem worse. In any case, the drugs usually simply mask the problem, reather than treating the CAUSE of the problem. Medication, especially the popular mind-drugs, are often prescribesd when there other more viable options available. The problem is that the big drug companies have most of the medical profession in their pocket. Since when did the public suggest to doctors what meds they need? "Ask your doctor if xxxxxx is right for you" is a tagline I hear more and more in commercials. It used to be that you went to the doctor, told him your symptoms, and HE told YOU what to do. The medical profession is being reduced to salesmen for drug companies.....
Bear with me here M, but what did all the millions of women who suffered through Post-Partum Depression do before the new found reliance on chemicals? They friggin dealt with it. I've had my battles with depression, but meds are too often a knee-jerk reaction that simply disguises the problem....Figure out why you are depressed, fix that, exercise (it releases endorphins), and monitor yourself, things will likely get better.I agree with you to some extent J, but as a gal that's known of many new Moms that have suffered with postpartem depresssion and general depression, I can tell you that if you can get yourself leveled out CHEMICALLY, you're better off...if there are environmental factors contributing to your problems, that's an entirely different animal...
I was talking to my neighbor about this very topic last night as our kids ran circles around us. She's just had baby #2 and went for a 6 week checkup. She said it was the first time she noticed her doctor asking her questions as if she was "looking" for signs of instability...my hope is that MORE doctors ask their patients trigger questions to help diagnose someone that's heading down a path they can't control...this, of course, will do nothing for women that don't even have access to health care or can't afford it, but it's a start with the doctors and patients toward diagnosing potential problems...

Thank you Carrie...Mr. Brown....Not true in all cases. I noticed signs of PP about a month after my daughter was born. I listened to one of my sisters who spit out the same thing from her mouth. "people did it for hundreds of years before, why mess with it now."
When Abbi was around 1 it got worse and worse. Then Panic attacks set in. I finally got the help I needed. and it only took 6 months of treatment. I've been fine ever since.
I then went to my sister with the same thing the Dr told me.
"Depression is a disease, so is cancer. would you tell your mom to not go through Chemo because people did it for hundreds of years with out meds? No."
We have come a long way over the years as far as treatments for such problems. And there will ALWAYS be someone that will abuse something and screw things up.
Ok...Treatment by medication and therepy CAN BE A CURE. But it is up to the patient to follow through.Ladies-
I'm not singling out PPD, or meaning to trivialize it in any way. I'm not implying that women are somehow more suceptible to depression or any mental problems. What I said applies to both genders. I'm sure that some cases of PPD and other forms of depression are treatable by meds, but we as a society have become entirely too dependent on "symptom maskers" rather than cures.
