"And I think the whole Crouch family is wacked out.  Sr. hungry for 
power, Jr. hungry for the acceptance and approval that he never got 
from his power hungry dad, and Mom, well, she's one of those women 
that always go back to the man that hits her because "he loves her".  
Now, I don't mean that to be demeaning, rude, or hurtful, but some 
women have that tragic flaw, they are unable to break the cycle of 
abuse.  

Michelle ;)"

this is just a comment about mrs. crouch (whom, btw, i do not think 
was being abused by her husband physically -- though who knows 
emotionally).  i know michelle wasn't trying to be "demeaning, rude, 
or hurtful" but i just wanted to let people know about a great book by 
ann jones called _next time, she'll be dead_.  it will totally make 
you rethink domestic violence and what we can all do about it.
