So there are different degrees of stupidity. Are these objective? Is there a certain degree in which everything one has ever done is instantly invalidated and is forever labeled an "idiot"?

She didn't think she was going to die. This wasn't a calculated attempt to fuck over her kids life by killing herself. Given that you know nothing specific of her parenting, you feel content to judge her as a "horrible mother" because she made a mistake leading to her accidental death?

I agree, as the article describes. So because she may have used drugs which probably did cloud her judgment, leading her to make a mistake leading to her accidental death, she is a "horrible mother"? Even though you don't know this woman, her kids, or anything more than this article provides. (It's nothing new that you jump to extreme conclusions based on a minimum of information, but it's pretty humorous to think you know enough to make a judgment on her parenting. Parents fuck up, sometimes big, sometimes small.)

How do you know they don't? No one is asking you to feel sorry, just that you refrain from being a total flaming asshole.

Dude, what the fuck does your drug post have to do with this thread? That's why I didn't reply to it. If you want to make a weapy, tearjerker story about drugs, go to freevibe.com and learn what your anti-drug is. Or make a new thread. But don't go off on broadly off-topic tangents and get pissy when I'm don't take your bait. As for your experiences with drugs and drug users, I don't really give a shit. One thing remains true: you still can't hold the upper hand in a drug debate based around objectivity and facts.
