Good for her, I guess. What makes this the national news story it's become? It follows a common media narrative, that's why.

If she were the norm, it wouldn't have received the same level of media attention.
In my opinion, illuminating her example isn't the problem. It's responses like yours that seem to expend more energy denouncing the presentation of her example, than addressing the reasons why her behavior seems so rare.
That is the real problem.
You really know this country is headed in the wrong direction when even something as benign as this woman's positive example can be cast by anyone as something negative.
:shk:
It must be really terrible to be trapped inside your head.

Are your questions serious????
It's how she chose to RESPOND to it that YOU could definitely learn from.
I'm still confused what makes her a hero? I responded in much the same way when I was picked on as a kid. My parents always told me "sticks and stones....". Realizing that words don't hurt and to shrug them off is not a new concept, nor is it heroic.
If it makes you feel better about yourself to pretend it is, then who am I to stop you? Carry on....edit on 28-9-2012 by PvtHudson because: (no reason given)
