At least according to wino's link, she appeaed to be dead at the time of the publication of the obit--unless I completely spaced where it said she wasn't.</p>
</p>
I can see where some would argue that the obit was on it's nose. </p>
</p>
On the other hand, I do think that there are a significant portion of people out there that hide behind the phrase "what happens in the family stays in the family" far beyond any point of common sense. </p>
</p>
With stories now rampant about mental, physical, and and sexual abuse of kids, and of how many stories in the past that were never told, I think it's compltely jacked that people *still* think that because you share genetic material with someone that they have to be held in God-like reverence and be given complete benefit of the doubt. IMHO the fact that someone is a father, mother, brother, sister, uncle aunt, grandparent, or cousin just means that someone fucked someone else....AND THAT'S IT. How they behave in said position should go a lot more towards the respect their given than title alone.</p>
</p>
That being said for those that think the title of "Mom", "Dad", or the like means you have a carte blanche to **** with your kids however you want and have your deeds hidden within the veil of family, this was a nice opening salvo.</p>
