Is that considered an improvement or deterioration?
She is an amazing lady. I thought she quit Harvard a few years after she started there. Saw the movie years ago.
It will be interesting to see where she landed politically.
Did she turn out Republican? The turkey came from a church probably made up of right-wing Christians. The welfare dependency was responsible for her parents’ ability to actually get into such a drug-addicted lifestyle by taking away the negative consequences of laziness.
Did she turn out Democrat? It’s hard to overcome a Harvard brainwashing, er, education.
I wonder...
drug addicts or Harvard graduate
Which is worse?
Actually, her parents were politicians. But she would have been ashamed to admit that.
I read article this time,, and alas, I think she got sucked into liberalism. The New York Times gave her a scholarship to Harvard. She has met Bill Clinton.

Born in the Bronx, Liz watched her parents mainlining coke all day. "Both my parents were hippies. By the time the early 1980s came around and I'd been born, their disco dancing thing had become a drug habit," she recalls.Drugs are a tool Satan uses to steal souls.She talks frequently about how much she loved them and how much they loved her, how they were highly intelligent but rendered hopeless at parenting by their drug dependence and consequent poverty. She remembers her mother stealing her birthday money, selling the television, and even the Thanksgiving turkey a church had given them,
Amazing story.
If her parents really loved her why did they let her stave?
While I am glad she seems to have gotten herself out of a terrible situation and was able to get an ivy league degree, it makes me want to go and tell my neighbors they should become drug addicts, homeless, and steal their daughter’s money. You see, they are a middle class family that couldn’t afford to send their daughter to Harvard. The girl was third in her class, had excellent recommendations and SAT scores, and is a genuinely good person. She was accepted to Harvard but offered no scholarship money. Most of the scholarship applications she wanted to fill out excluded her from consideration— she’s white, has two parents, and doesn’t live in the inner city. Well, come to think of it, she did receive some local scholarship money from various groups but not enough. She volunteered about 15 hours a week at a local veterinarian’s office on top of school, homework, and sports because she wants to be a Veterinarian. She filled out financial aid forms. But once again, having two parents that work doesn’t help in getting financial aid, even though they make nowhere near enough for Harvard. Her bill for Harvard would have been about $30,000 a year AFTER financial aid. She decided to go to SUNY Binghamton, a good state school a couple of hours a way. I told her it was probably for the better, and she has a 4.0 after two semesters.
Very nice article. Thank you!
Did anyone tell her Dad you can get a library card and actually borrow books from the library? No stealing required.
Well, she'd better not warn teenagers to resist sex before marriage, or she'll end up like Christine O'Donnell -- ridiculed by all the movers and shakers. sarc/off
Seriously, it is interesting that this young lady is lauded for having eventually finishing her Harvard education (on full scholarship), but Christine O'Donnell is reviled for taking 9 years to finish hers and having a hard time paying back her college loans afterward.
