By the way, I heard over the radio last week a woman who allowed her eight-year-old kid to see the movie Hannibal. When the DJ's chastisted her, she took the position that she was much more "intelligent" than anyone else, and she was certain that she knows how to raise her kid better than anyone else. (And this was our local pop music station, too, not some conservative talk show.) Tenchusatsu, As a preface, I don't normally watch Oprah [LOL], but I was at the gym and that was the only thing on a few months ago. There was a mother in the audience who was asking the psychologist for some help for herself. It seems her teenage son was in jail for murdering her husband, his stepfather. Apparently she used her son as a sounding board for all the problems she was having with the husband. Finally, she said to her son she couldn't take much more and wanted him dead. Well, the kid wanted his mother happy and so he killed the stepfather. Now, of course, she was freaked because she had never intended to have her husband killed [becareful what you wish for], and now she had lost him and her son. She was very distraught and wanted suppport from the psychologist. Of course the psychologist was furious [at her] for her self centeredness but still she didn't get it. And then Oprah went on a rant and finally the woman got but she was p*ssed because she expected sympathy, not anger. Go figure! Maybe she was related to the woman who took her kid to see Hannibal. ted
