I doubt she'd be in jail if she'd let her children surf the net unsupervised.

We're so concerned about the poisons that enter our mortal bodies, but so indifferent to the poisons that enter our immortal souls.

She would if in letting them surf unsupervised, she'd defied a court order saying she couldn't do that. That's why she went to the clink. Not because she smoked, but because she signed off on a custody arrangement that said she couldn't and she broke it.

Absolutely correct.

[Hi Heels]

That was extremely well put.

Good post...and I would add this: IMO, we should be as concerned, if not more so...of the poisons that enter our minds.

There is so much truth to what you say. Due to the humanistic culture we live in now, people spend far more attention on what affects us physically vs. what affects us spiritually and morally. However, my general comment on this lady is that if she's so addicted that she can't give up smoking around her kids as a means of protecting their health, then she needs counseling to find out why she's so selfish that her need to smoke overrules good thinking.
