I knew that a lot of the people who had lobotomies weren't exactly willing

participants, but this guys childhood was just... ****ed. Like I said, the

stepmother was psychotic- even her own kids thought so- but when the

later refused to admit that perhaps Howard was treated wrong, I just
wanted 
to beat him to death with a 2x4 full of rusty nails.
