Maybe Not So Frivolous, After All

We were too tired to concentrate on Henry VIII and "The Tudors" last night; so, we resorted to an old stand-by, in the same time slot. It's not often that I'd reference "Desperate Housewives" in discussing a mega-serious topic, such as that of nature vs. nurture. However, a redeeming episode drove home an important issue in the case of monsters creating monsters. Children born to cold, unloving parents suffer such severe psychological damage. How profoundly sad to think of so many from whom love is deprived. Kudos to the Housewives for tackling such a heart-wrenching issue.
