Hmmm. That would just make her a bit of a ****, tbh.
How sad is this comment? Any young blossoming female -- and I hope to bring this up with her -- will wish to make a connection, whether that be to her fellow man, or else to a presumed collective. No collective action can function without some theory of spontaneous organization and growth. She felt, no doubt, that she was seeding the hesitating normals into action. The Afghan, while important, was not the only factor here. But you must measure, and by you I mean you, every action according to some dour economic scale. One ounce action, this much money or whatever gained. Two ounces, that much.
