cnn reports today that a newborn baby was tossed out the window of a car by a couple that appeared to be arguing
a driver, seeing this event and thinking the bundle was kittens or puppies, pulled over to investigate and found the baby boy, only an hour old, with a plastic bag over his head and the umbilical cord still attached
sigh
how much more fucked up can the human race demonstrate for itself
i truly despair
sposedly the baby is okay / looked like a nice healthy one at 8 pounds
this triggers an old memory*
i was driving with a young friend who had just had a baby / she was in that kind of stunned limbo one feels after such a major event and she said i feel like throwing him out the window and i said, well, that's normal / and she told me later that my saying that relieved her depression and any feelings of guilt and she thanked me for it
i have no idea where that idea came from / i mean where i say Oh well, that's normal / maybe just better than saying why you crazy evil monster
*i have a photographic memory with too much film

You heard later that this was a hoax, right? The woman who turned the baby in was actually the child's mother, and had made up the story about seeing the baby tossed out of a car after she saw a couple arguing in an unrelated car. *sigh* It's best that this baby find a sane, loving home.
