eleanor roche…….. Thank you for writing. Yes, Suzanne, and Mugsy were extrememly sympathetic as have been most of the other people commenting on this subject. I just feel bad that it has turned into a name calling situation. I remember when I was growing up we had great debates in our house. My Father had one RULE……We could get as excited, bold and attacking against the opposing view but never attack the individual. I raised my children that way. We’ve had wonderful discussions because of that rule. Thanks for the compliment about my age………I just turned 76 this month. My granddaughter will be 32 next month. I tell my son who is almost 57 that I look young enough to be his sister. I started out Young………only 19 1/2 when I had my first child. My granddaughter was also the same age when she had my first great grandson…..he’s 12. Here’s on to the new Question of the day and some new and interesting articles on the site today. Again………Thanks to all who have had kind words for me.

KF—She isn’t in prison she has been in a nearby hospital since march…with her husband as her atty he can visit as often as he wishes. Her mother isn’t alive. And the real point is that she wants to go stay by the beach in Laguna when she dies. She should have thought of that when she butchered 8 innocent people and a baby, and told Sharon Tate when she begged for her life and that of her 8 1/2 month fetus, a boy she’d already named Paul, that she had no mercy for her and she was going to die. This was after she’d already murdered a musicain a week before, and she lets Sharon tate live through the horror of having her three friends killed first to terrorize her more. Then she went back and danced and laughed that murder was fun and more fun each time she did it. She went out the next night and killed two more completedly innocent people. She got off death row by a fluke of timing. She was able to have a life, marry in prison etc. She denied that to 8 innocent people and a baby….Sharon Tate;s mother was in serious depression over her Daughter from 1969 to 1982 until she started working for victims rights. She changed many laws to ensure justice for the victims. She and her other daughter Patti died fighting every parole request….now the other daughter has said do not let this woman out. There were more than 100 family members of victims devastated at the brutal way their loved ones died in one of the most grisly senseless killings of the 20th century. Susan Atkins got off death row by a fluke of timing…..she doesn’t deserved misplaced compassion her victims deserve their rights to justice. And go through an emotional roller coaster at each parole hearing Atkins has been denied 17 times. And she’ll be denied this last time. If she wanted to die near the beach she shouldn’t have mass murdered 8 people and a baby and set her own fate.

Eleanor— how have you been?
