Why are there proportionally more violent criminals in the USA than in all other developed countries? And why do violent criminals ALL call themselves "conservatives".

Regrettably the murderous spirit of violent patriarchy dies hard. Rachel Corey and now Michelle Gardner-Quinn have become victims of out of control and maniacal men who regarded their lives with little more reverence than that of a cock roach.

Anyone who doubtsd that women are the most oppressed humanity on this earth just has not been paying attention. God bless her "sisters" for keeping Michelle's thoughts and words alive!

Excellent Video. Moved me to tears.

Damn.

I looked at that photo of Michele, and my first thought was, "She's one of us..."

Then read that, -horrifically, some ugly, twisted soul, -one possessed by extreme darkness had killed her, well before her time.

I pray for her and all like her, these 'Spirits of the Earth' who have angelic aspirations,
~ as opposed to those who know only evil.

Let her Light shine for an eternity. I'm sure it will...

I feel my heart is wounded by Michelle pssing on,even though it is to a better place in the heart of GOD. Those few people like you, are true blessing to our planet earth. Know that all of what you wished to protect, shed teers on your leaving us.

I feel conflicted. First I'd rather not know who this woman was because if I didn't know who she was, then maybe that would mean she was still alive. I know my statement isn't logical. Then again, I am pleased to be able to read this young woman's thoughts and perhaps the horrible violence and death she endured will create more goodwill. Perhaps her personal mission statement will embolden more young women and men to pursue their dreams of taking an active role in environmental protection.

I feel terribly sad.

Very powerful piece. I'm sorry it took a beautiful young woman's life to bring forward what so many of us connected to the Cycles, this "Woman's Story",feel to Light. Perhaps, just perhaps, there is a reason beyond one Girl's Life that this happened...the Greater Good.

Her mother's statement at the end, says it all.

Blessed Be the Innocents. Blessed Be the Words From Their Hearts.

NOw...what are YOU going to do?

Allisone

Michelle's parents... what hell they've endured, and such an enormous loss, this girl who would have made sucha difference- and she still is.
I am somewhat put off by the video- sorry, just too many ultra-famous women who give me the impression they are more aware of being, well, *blonde* and beautiful, than they are about what they are saying (just my impression). I don't want to "diss" any high profile efforts to highlight such an important issue as the health of our planet (we need all the help we can get); however, I wish it could have been portrayed a little differently, with more soul, and less glam.

I'm not put off by the ultra-famous women and I don't think that they're in the movie for self promotion. Whoever supports progressive causes, whether they are rich and famous or everyday people, should be welcomed into the fold. This was a moving tribute to a wonderful young woman whose contribution to environmentalism will be kept alive by those who raise their voices for the cause.

What progressive causes have these women put forth that did not reward them financialy. Tipper Gore? Get real.
Evry one of them has money, some were born into money, traveled in priveleged circles to have4 someone of influence help them and now have tax protected incomes while not having gotten dirty more than a couple times in life and that was most likely done while having sex.
Rachel Corrie's death would of been unknown, and no matter hwo much women try and differ it is still realtively unknown and will remain such, except for the connected positions and financial well being of her mother who live in affluuent area of wanna be feely good types.
Name one of their causes today that is a success and not in decline?
They can lead eulogys for the popular and most visable causes and say a lot of pretty words to entice young people like this young miss and the other Rachel Corrie types on the grandeurs of sacrifice and not living in the real world of dangers and having to pay prices of real worth.
Some of them have made a career of the victim mentality or feel good charity crowd who bend down and :Feel: the pains, uh huh.
Sheesh get real for far too long we have made heros of many like them and in their circles they will remain even if this country goes into the dumps.
Some of them income has been drived from the help the victims and their efforts have been matched by a charity deduction on their income tax forms.
the only thing the womens movement is doing is giving them the same decadent rights,( Rights is wrong word, privelege is more appropriate) as their males and not advanced humanity one iota.
Words and empty promises by woemn who want you to beg for equality instead of getting dirty and fighting for it.
People of the system that has gone nowhere except into abortion clinics, day before and after pills, protection from breast cancer money to support their kids when the daddy leaves or is unknown, and this is what equality and Womens Rights is all about?
Ever wonder why the Democratic party acts like whimps and serfs and is now losing everything and striving to become more masculine and inhumane to survive?

Crushed and thrown away as casual as dumping a half-eaten bag of pork rinds -- it don't get much uglier than that.

I pray to the God I don't believe in that her soul has peace.

"Woman is the fountain,
the fruit
and the vine..."

The U.S. was founded on and credited with VIOLENCE and will DIE on VIOLENCE. I would not be surprised if the killer was none more than a rightwing hack just like arsonists in the Rockies end up being environmental hitfolks for BIG TIMBER as was the case these past few years. Worse, the media parrots the lies that the presence of trees are the cause for forest fires all the while letting BIG TIMBER arsonists go scot-free.

As somebody said so poigniantly in Costa Govras feature film, "Z," Why is it always the good people who get killed'?

I am reminded of the words to the folk song, Silver Dagger.

Hide Behind, you idiotic, inarticulate, ignorant conservative. You knuckle-dragging moron. How do you breathe the same air as I do? What on earth are you babbling about, you buffoon? Why do you not make sense? Who are you going to win over with your insensitive, half-baked, hate-filled rant against people who attempt to make a difference? This article was about one woman who did more in one day for a critical cause than you probably ever did in your entire pathetic life, you effin' idiot. What the hell are you talking about, this crap about women who want to "beg for equality instead of fighting" and "getting dirty" for it? This makes absolutely no sense. I'm typically against violence, but I wouldn't be sad if a mack truck smeared your sorry ass all over the road, right next to whatever rock you slithered out from under (probably Cheney's undisclosed bunker site). I'm striving to "become inhumane," so that I can kick you in your yellow corn teeth, you disgusting excuse for a human being.

Ah, 'don't candy coat it,' now! Damn, you done hit the old nail right its old head! But hit it a little harder! I just love humor.

I am not a woman of violence of any shape, form or color but Richard, I hate to say it but I am beginning to believe that your "becoming inhumane" may end up being the only viable solution for those who make gain at someone else's expense.

Google: Zapatista Noise Video and perhaps you might understand where I am coming from.

Predators like this man who murdered this girl needs to be educated on what it feels like to be prey.
