a bunch of young idealists who thought they could change the world

for the two-thirds of the gaines's who were in the fort last weekend, i got the semi-scoop on patricia hearst. to this day she claims she was kidnapped in order for the SLA to have an excuse to wage "war" on america. she claims she was brainwashed, and has testified in cases against SLA even in recent years. In 2001 President Clinton pardoned the sentence she had served in prison in the last hours before Bush took office.

i know, it's like, "why didn't you just run away?' i just don't understand brainwashing, i guess. it seems like now she prides herself on bringing down the sla (aka the young idealists). own up to your past, sister.
