3/21 http://www.theolympian.com/home/news/20030319/frontpage/23705.shtml This guy went to the same school as the bulldozer girl... though apparently she was more devoted and intelligent. \_ Because standing in front of a huge armored bulldozer is really intelligent. I'll grant you on the devoted part. \_ Depends on your priorities. At any rate, at least she found the right house to protect. \_ what house? nothing i read said anything about the house. \_ I'm not sure what you mean-- the girl was standing in front of a Palestinian settlement. Maybe they're not houses per se (shacks?), but she found the right place (unlike the guy in the story above). \_ The right place to what? Die stupidly? Her death has no meaning. It will change nothing. The issues at stake are vastly more important than a dumb little girl. \_ I suspect you might be missing the other guy's intended tone.... |
