You know, I’m as big a grammar policeman as anyone, but I hardly noticed any problem with her writing. I was riveted by the story and what it means about my country.
Bob Grant would call you a pusillanimous pipsqueak.
**I was riveted by the story and what it means about my country.**
Same here. Too many commas??? Huh?
So, did this happen to a FReeper? That’s the only thing I’m not understanding.
But my take on this? It was definitely a liberal who somewhere got wind of individual facts and in their warped boogey-man mind, formulated that this person was doing things for self-sufficiency (solar, food); heard about interior renovations (oh no, she’s building a secret tunnel to get away when we come for her); she’s strong (she’s angry); and there’s a child in there (how can she possibly care for the child since she’s blogging against our government).
I’m surprised they didn’t ask if the woman owned a vegetable garden. That would have done her in.

I disagree. We all make spelling errors. I’ve used “to” when I meant “too”, etc. I normally gloss over them. But I was trying to read this article out loud to my wife and it got so frustrating that we both just gave up.
I’m as annoyed by grammar police as the next guy, but this article crossed the line before I got 10% through it. Yes, everything in it may be true and generally scary. Heck, it probably is, but still...
