The "cyanide " lady - a victim ?


                Without knowing more, I study the haggard face of Kathryn

    Schoonover ( she must have lost her hair from the cancer treatment )

    and read : " homeless cancer patient ". She won't be homeless now ! She

    has been arrested for lunatic behavior - mailing out cyanide containing

    envelopes. Just like Kathryn the envelopes, I learn, have no " return

    address !

             Republicans can scream all they want for the death penalty for

    this woman. She is already under nature's  own immutable death sentence.

          Is this how we treat poor cancer patients ? The clearly mentally

    ill? We cannot even manage to give them the dignity of a home to die

    in ?

         But the poor and the mentally ill just don't have the right

    attitude do they, Mr. And Mrs. Republican ?
