This article depicts Marin as a kind, warm-hearted woman. In fact, she advertises on Craig's List constantly for Personal Care Assistants, and the reason it is constantly is because she is such a thoroughly unpleasant person to deal with that nobody stays. She addresses her helpers as "Dog-Shit" if they do anything which does not measure up to her lofty standards. Marin is rude, abusive and supercilious. The fact is -- and one cannot know if it stems from her disability or not -- she is a cold-hearted and bitter woman with a superior and jaundiced view of her fellow humans.
