But she isn't doing that. She's doing this protest (or was, until today. She went back to LA today because her mother is in the hospital), but how on earth is she surviving? How can she be an example of the real world when most people who are losing their sons and daughters can't go sit out in front of the president's ranch for a month?

I think she's an example of arrogance. She claims that she is doing this so no one else's son or daughter or husband or wife or father/mother/cousin/sister/brother etc dies, but if that's true, why wasn't she doing it before?

I agree with everything else you say about the war, don't get me wrong on that point. And I agree with what you say about Bush living in lala land. I just don't think there's anything that merits any attention whatsoever to her; let alone such a huge response.

Also, I think it's high time Americans stopped looking for someone to rally behind and started thinking, and more importantly feeling for themselves, but I know that's unrealistic and I've been reading way too much of A Prayer for Owen Meany and listening to too much damn hippie music.
