Rap..I appreciate the comment..makes me feel better..sometimes I feel a little TOO outspoken about things.but that is just me..

My thing is, as I have shared with Sky and Jenne before, is even if you HAVE a mental disorder, and it could be serious..it doesn't, IMO, make you "INSANE"..to me..and this again is only my opinion..an "INSANE" person is..let's say..a Person who can not function day to day like a normal person..meaning every day activities..Andrea Yates, although she needed guidance, was doing these things..she was taking care of her children..they were being fed..clothed..and god forbid..bathed..I do know that many legally "insane" people are well capable of taking care of themselves..but are they capable of taking care of others..at a level that Yates did? Does this make any sense? I, no doubt, believe Yates was sick..she had to be to kill her own children..in my eyes I HAVE to believe that she was..but I do not believe she was insane. Two days ago I was all for the death penalty in this case..now I somewhat agree with Lexicon..IF, Yates was ever to be released to the general public..I think it should be to a jail cell..
Where do we draw the line?
