SPOILER:
I think this is the first episode of 30 Days that does NOT have a happy ending.

The woman was driving my wife nuts. I did feel bad for her because she was under attack from everybody pretty much the entire time. On the other hand, she was willing to say it's terrible for children to languish in foster care and group homes -- but that it was more important that her moral sensibilities not be offended. Very weird.

At times I felt the people were just trying to talk to her and she was was just too much in a defensive posture. I think she was just too primed to defend her views rather than listen to what others had to say with a truly open mind.

When they were having the last discussion at the kitchen table I really felt for the guy having this woman really put down the security they were providing those boys. Personally, I think that lady came off as a jerk.

The episode about the hunter working with PETA was well done. I'm glad the guy they picked was intelligent, and not some dumb ass redneck. I thought it was so incredibly ridiculous when that Animal Acres woman was comparing mistreated chickens to Jews during WWII. Is she serious?!?!? Still, it was good in that the guy kept eating meat but he now understood what these animals go through and wanted it to stop.

I just watched the same-sex parenting episode... my god.
"The world does not conform to my view of reality!"
"I'm being asked to defend my opinions! Why are gay people so mean?"
