I understand what you mean.

The toughest time I have ever done in my 20 years of the practice of law was 8 days spent in the interview room of the women's prison here in Texas while opposing counsel deposed my ostensible client.

I was shanghai'd to sit the deposition of a young woman -- no secret, her name is Magy Ward -- who shot her mother in the back of the sink while she was standing there washing dishes.

The intellectual exercize of seperating the deed from the doer gets to be pretty tough when she is 85#, 17 years old, and quite nice when she isn't pissed off at you wiith a gun in her hand.

Magy was systematically malpracticed upon by a 'psychologist' for an extended period of time. The persons of whom our poster professes admiration were very deliberative and, to use a very outmoded term, quite evil.

I think that what is offensive to those of us who have responded in opposition to any sort of praise for the Rudolphs of the world is the perception of evil. I have sat in the presence of evil, and I cannot condone its praise, mixed with admiration or not.
