I am sure the "learning" environment at Watermelon U probably didn't hurt.Aureliushttp://the.americanempire.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17824923.post-1143228559154689442006-03-24T11:29:00.000-08:002006-03-24T11:29:00.000-08:00It won't be much of a victory when the Israelis take the property back.<BR/><BR/>I should know, I'm gonna be one of them. *grin*Sailor Republicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02942567073766698809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17824923.post-1143144652383703182006-03-23T12:10:00.000-08:002006-03-23T12:10:00.000-08:00Having educated parents does not mean that she didn't have naive intentions and misguided plans. I can't feel sorry for anyone who burns even a replica of an American flag. She obviously was influenced by the wrong people if she thought she could stop the carnage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17824923.post-1143059331992000512006-03-22T12:28:00.000-08:002006-03-22T12:28:00.000-08:00<I>She actually had strong convictions for a young woman and a strong sense of self.

She's no martyr - more like Don Quixote with poor depth perception.<BR/><BR/>And that picture of her screaming and foaming at the mouth while burning a picture of the U.S. flag - did she pick up those 'skills' at Evergreen State, or just more influence of her 'outspoken and highly educated parents'?<BR/><BR/>Give me a break.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17824923.post-1142992439626325452006-03-21T17:53:00.000-08:002006-03-21T17:53:00.000-08:00Actually, the faculty at Evergreen state college where she was enrolled who knew about her plan tried to talk her out of it.<BR/><BR/>So that kind of blows your "kook prof" theory.<BR/><BR/>Portrayals of Rachel in the media, try to make her into a stupid kid, or someone who was manipulated by a liberal arts education.<BR/><BR/>She actually had strong convictions for a young woman and a strong sense of self.

Hopefully her legacy will inspire other young people to act instead of be spectators in life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17824923.post-1142973967574742152006-03-21T12:46:00.000-08:002006-03-21T12:46:00.000-08:00If she was my kid I would be left wondering how she got so wrapped up in this leftwing Palestinian activism that she did something that stupid and lost her life. And now the Jews pull out anyway for other reasons.<BR/><BR/>Think I would be looking up whatever kook prof indoctrinated her young mind.Hinduhttp://www.sagebrusher.comnoreply@blogger.com
