San Diego women who kill the ones they love
I just finished the cover story of three murders of men by their women. I have been reading a lot of detective fiction and Tom Larson could certainly write a good detective story if he tried. I also admired his objectivity: none of the three women were paragons of femininity, but the men were worse. None of the three women could leave their men and avoid the crime. I'm pleased that women are murdering men. I'm tired of the abuse and murder of women by men all through the ages. I wish that Moslem wives would murder their husbands and put the fear of Allah into them. Would that a lot of Catholic wives had murdered their men in the early 20th century after the usual Saturday night beating with the family priest telling the women to endure it. Well, it is said that most people "live lives of quiet desperation". Middle class people, maybe. But there is nothing quiet about the class of people you wrote about. The abused go on to marry abusers and evil is transmitted from generation to generation. I had little or no feeling for the married men. Maybe because you didn't tell us so much about them. It's another hit from my favorite cover story writer, but not one that draws from me the usual empathy.— July 5, 2008 1:18 p.m.
