You got stones. Something too many people these days lack, and really don’t like seeing in others, because it reminds them of their shortcomings.
This girl is Amelia Earhart. She is Helen Thayer. Isabelle Eberhardt. Marie Curie. She isn’t willing to sit at home and do ‘normal’ things. Good for her! She reached for the stars. If she survives (which I hope she does), she will be the better for it.
Without a doubt, we deserve the government we got. And if these Abby Sunderland threads are any indication, we deserve Obama, the dems, and the nanny state. It’s what has been collectively asked for by the ones who want to be ‘safe’.
May their chains rest lightly. You’re unchained. Live large!
Amen, brother.
A few years ago the hue and cry was, “American kids are growing up too fast”, and I wonder if all this current din isn’t an overreaction to that overreaction.
I don’t like pigeonholing everyone. Most folks fit in the middle of the bell curve, but not all.
You are completely wrong, I just don’t know how much I can tell you. I think all of us support manned space missions and so on. Adults vs children doing things are entirely seperate. If she was 18 and legal, fine. Her parents are still *legal guardians* however. It’s just the way things are, and it’s so ridiculous to compare this to any form of weakness.
How old were those women?
Amelia Earhart Age 40 at disappearnce
Helen Thayer Age 50 when she first soloed the pole.
Isabelle Eberhardt Age 20 when she went to Africa with Mom
Marie Curie Age 39 when she started to teach.
Nope. Not one of them was 16. And the 20 year old was with Mom.
