"and that hetero-parenting is somehow a guarantee of wholesome, well-rounded children...."

Could you cite any references please?

We hear that claim made often by Danny and Slog but have never seen anyone in the real world claim that.

Thanks once again, Dan, for exposing the lying liars at FRC.

@ 14, the guy sounds too much like a psychopath to me. (That word gets bandied about too much these days, but his reactions on the stand are just too cold-blooded for it not to be highly possible here.) Eric Harris (the likely psychopathic Columbine killer) also felt only at home in isolated nature.

Oswego IL is just a few miles from my wife's home town, and the murdered wife was the same age. I wonder if she ever knew this person? I'll ask her - but not tonight.

Christopher apparently had a thing for druids and getting back to nature and ye olde life, and so forth. His fantasy was to live the lifestyle deep in the Yukon Territory. He could have just been a thoughtless jerk and abandoned his family but, for whatever reasons, he decided to be a murderous thoughtless jerk.

Finally, I'll add that he had a beautiful wife and lovely kids, plus what appears to have been a nice house and, probably, a decent career. That is, he had attained what is the fantasy of millions. But sometimes we let things get in the way of appreciating what we have.

why?

what good is served by highlighting the crimes of mentally ill criminals?

No, but clearly he thought that. I wasn't accusing you of thinking that way.

Because some people are mentally ill......

If he had run off into the wilderness like Christopher McCandless, how would his family have held him back in any way? You can't collect child support or alimony from someone who can't be found.

Of course, he wanted to be surrounded by nature. If he had just left, he would have gotten that. Instead, he gets to be as far away from nature as possible, for the rest of his life.
