So what does she earn? A 3-paragraph obit in a Washington state paper? Perhaps 100 people at the funeral. And thats about it. Pretty much sums up the contribution she made in life. To give so much....for nothing...and to get so little in return.

Oh, Lord no. Our local newspaper will have huge headlines and bleeding heart stories about her for days. She'll get more coverage than the liberation of Iraq (which our newspaper opposes). They'll be flying flags at the college at half-mast for a month. There'll be no end of this locally.

That she valued her life so cheaply. That's the only tragic thing about this.

So true, but that's the recurring legacy of Evergreen State College.

The actual sadder truth is that the Daily Olympian (known as the daily "O" or daily "zero") will likely do a couple of full-page spreads on her. They'll make her look like the man in tainmen square standing in front of the tank. She'll be a local hero.

That she was fighting for terrorism and the continued horror of the Arafat sector will be utterly lost on them.
