I have seen the Masai up close and personal, and have a great deal of respect for them. If she has no pie in the sky Utopia dreams, and remains open to learning about the entire Masai world, she will have a happy, though possibly shorter life.When there is lots of rain life is good. When its too dry , it is not so good, and really tough on women and children.

Kudos to her for learning to live life in an ancient warrior tradition.The weak could never accomplish such a thing.

I would like to see her succeed. I think some folks are being a bit rough on her, but hey...isn’t her capacity to do as she pleases the epitome of a very important conservative tenet...personal freedom?

Of course, with that freedom comes responsibility...the responsibility to avoid having others bail you out. Up here in New England, they occasionally get folks up in the White Mountains who get into trouble in the middle of the winter and have to be rescued because they weren’t prepared or didn’t exercise sound judgement. I always feel a touch of anger, even if I am glad they got rescued.
