#1 *sigh* People like Ragsdale... It's her right to express her opinion on anything and everything from artichokes to zithers, but that right ends in the act of committing a crime like vandalism, or destruction of property. My right to use my fist ends just before the other person's nose begins. I've got a yellow ribbon on my oak tree out front for my friend who is Recon - if anybody were to come onto my property and try to vandalize that ribbon, well, hell. Infringe on my rights to support my friend and miss the hell out of him, praying for his safety, and I'll infringe upon your rights to breathe without the difficulty of a deviated septum.

#2 Story has the whole package. Victimization, freedom of belief and expresion, oppressed background. In short, Ragsdale is all about herself. What a surprise.

#5 Carpinteria is a very nice and pleasant town. I've visited it alot while my wife went to school nearby. I am glad that the citizens ran her spoiled and misguided ass out. Doesn't matter what the ~~cause~~ excuse is, vandalism is vandalism. Better face your issues, Ragsie.

#6 On the wall above her head when she watches TV is a picture she painted of a baboon's stem cell.

... or a self potrait, maybe?

#7 I would have been fitting for residents that put up the ribbons to have lined up on the opposite side of the street and pelted Ragsdale with eggs as she skated on by......

#8 "...grinding poverty in a white ghetto on the south side of Chicago" Oh, God, Mayor Daley's gonna have a fit. FYI, if you've not been to the City of Big Shoulders, rest assured that "white ghettos" don't exist, folks. No. 2, and I'm really ticked off, the writer should know it's the South Side in upper case!!! No. 3, if she had tried that stunt in Bridgeport, maybe the "white ghetto" she's dreaming about, all of the cops, firemen, city plumbers, and other trade unionists of the neighborhood would have found an interesting place for her to put her blades. No. 4, what does one have to do to be considered a "bourgeois bohemian" Sounds like she enjoys tossing ferin' words around to impress herself and writer.

#9 Aren't these vandalistic beauzeaux/moonbats just pathetic?

#10 Just one more example of why I immensely dislike many who call themselves "liberal". People such as this woman (-itch-) are pompous law breakers who rail against every one for not protecting their 'rights' while attempting to deny the rights of every one that disagrees with them.
