Andrea Yates verdict - huh?

[Lissa]

Done it. When I was 15, I realized that I was about 10-15 pounds overweight. I decided to do something about it, as this was having a detrimental effect on my fledgling personal life. So, I decided to do something about it over the course of the summer. I started my regiment by not eating anything for 4 days. The first 2 days were very hard, but after that I got used to it and could have continued if my mother did not basically order me to eat something as she was getting concerned.

Just because it is difficult to control yourself, does not mean it is impossible.
Don't make bets without being reasonably sure you can win them.

You don't have to believe me, naturally. It's a small matter.

What about the other aspects of my post, you seem to totally have ignored those. Tell me, can you control yourself if your child is going to die and there is nothing that you can do about it? You and I both know the answer to that, so quit going on about this self control crap. Tell me that you have never let your emotions get away with you when someone you loved was hurt and you lashed out against the one(s) causing that pain?

Recognize that there is far more going on than your narrow minded view point. An open mind is willing to look around and get the answers, a closed mind is unwilling to budge. Your comments show that you have a closed mind and can't handle it when presented with a chance to learn more about a situtation because it may change your narrowminded view point.
