Either this is a poor translation or the author skipped grammar class; I could hardly get past the first paragraph.

Anyone who is actually interested in the issue of taxation and the history of the IRS should start by reading The Fair Tax by Neal Boortz. It will really make you think, it is well written, and it won't take long.

It's not as bad as the writer wants us to believe. The director explains that they are "optimistic" that the mother will start doing better and says that the more they intervene, the lower the chances that the mother will. Sounds like letting nature do its thing, and that is not necessarily cruelty.

It reminds me of being taught not to interfere with bird's nests because the human intervention causes the parent birds to stop parenting.

When I was a child, my sister and I always were asked whether we were identical or fraternal, and did twins run in the family and was it a surprise to our parents, and questions like that.

But now with so many ivf babies it seems like the assumption is always that twins are fraternal, the parents of course know right away and you never ask if it runs in the family.

Isn't it odd that this happens now after his involvement in a crime where no one died, but it did not happen after the crime where two people died?
