> Will her children grow up demented?

I don't know Sally Mann from Eve, nor her photography (landscape, children,
or otherwise) but it seem to me that it's the children of the repressed
anally-retentive who grow up demented, especially if there's an unhealty
dose of religion thrown in for good measure.  The children of those who on
the opposite end of the scale (free-wheeling, do-anything libertairians)
seem to do much better.  Presumably because they were required to think for
themselves while growing up, rather than being force-fed fear and
guilt-trips.
