But I suppose she would cry that her "rights" are being violated? I remember that Anne at the blog "The Gods are Bored" noted that the new healthcare reforms do NOT take into account any needs nor care for mental health challenges. I do really feel sorry for that couple (the "witches") that this woman has stalked relentlessly (and sent emails to their friends, church etc.!)

This is not a joke for anyone involved in this case -- I just have the deepest feeling that this sort of story will continue to pop up! Very scary indeed!

I get ...And oh yeah, p.s., she is not a crackpot. <br /><br />I get the feeling that the African concepts commonly translated as "witch" and "witchcraft" are wildly different from our own. I wish somebody acquainted with Africa and its languages would delve into the matter and explain it to English speakers.xannoreply@blogger.com
