You have the right to choose any life you want.

Just don't forget that is what you chose.

Right, my father did not put a gun in my hand at 10 years old and say shoot this man or I shoot you ala saddam - so I had lots of freedoms to choose - but a grace on the street in iraq would not have lasted like she did on the street in 60's new york with all the easy going hippies. You are never going to convince me that the environment a young child comes up in is not a HUGE effect on the rest of thier life.

Mexican police say anger spurred killerMARK STEVENSONAssociated PressMEXICO CITY - A female wrestler suspected of killing at least 10 elderly women in Mexico City said she acted out of anger at being abandoned by her mother and sexually abused by the man who took care of her, police said Friday.
Juana Barraza, 48, was arrested Wednesday while fleeing a house where an 82-year-old woman had been strangled with a stethoscope. Barraza has admitted to four killings, but police said evidence linked her to a total of 10, implicating her as the notorious "Mataviejitas," or "Little Old Lady Killer."
Barraza also resembles police composite drawings and a sculptured rendering of the suspected serial killer based on descriptions by witnesses - even including a similar haircut and facial mole.
Police had suspected the killer was a man dressed as a woman and spent months detaining, questioning and fingerprinting transvestites. Female serial killers are rare in any country, making up only 8 percent of all serial assassins in the United States.
The short-haired, robust Barraza - who once worked as a professional wrestler and wrestling promoter - told investigators that anger was the motive for the crimes.
"She said it was out of anger," said Mexico City's attorney general, Bernardo Batiz. "She had a very difficult life. Her mother gave her away when she was little, and the man who took her in had sex with her and she had a daughter."
Barraza later had several other children.
Batiz said psychological studies were still pending, but he believed Barraza was aware of the consequences of her actions.
Gay activists criticized the police for targeting transvestites during the investigation and for comments made after Barraza's arrest. One of the arresting officers said he believed Barraza "was a homosexual because of the strength she had."
Jaime Montejo, a spokesman for Brigada Callejera - an advocacy group for women, transvestites and prostitutes, demanded Friday that Batiz apologize "since he was the one who suggested that transvestites were responsible for the killings."
