"Sociopathic"?

"In the end, what did my boys gain from those thousand days they spent with me before school took them out into the larger world? Nothing, it seems to me, of any quantifiable value ... All they gained, really, was the sweetness of being with the person who loved them most in the world. All they gained was an immersion in the most powerful force on earth: mother love." ,

THAT paragraph is "sociopathic" to Joan Walsh? Holy shit.

I canceled my supscription long ago but I think it might be a while before I read Salon again...even with a site pass.

I mean- holy shit. Get a grip, Joan.
