rachel corrie, the american student felled by a bulldozer in gaza was a student of my alma mater, the evergreen state college. that there were – and still are – are many more rachel corries at evergreen makes me proud. i don’t think i’ve been anywhere that attracted such a great number of people filled with passion about their convictions. sure, some where complete wackos, but at least they were articulate and educated wackos.
rachel sounds like a fine woman and i’m sure she’s missed in oly.
