For example, if we really wanted to see Grizzly Bears populate their entire native range at the time of European discovery, then Bay Area types will need to share Fishermans Warf with them. Same for wolves... people lose their **** every time a Coyote turns up in Central Park.
Only time will tell but my intention is to sit back and see how the media wind blows in the future for her.
My cracked crystal ball is telling me that her media darling status has disappeared overnight and she will be lucky if her name is not an anachronism for "village idiot" for the next 20 years after the folks in charge get thru with her.
Just saying.

A massive new plan unveiled by Democrats is a wish list of restrictions on free political speech. Luke Wachob of the Institute for Free Speech comments on H.R. 1.

The resolution changes voting rights, changes political speech laws, changes freedom of association laws, changes the very structure of the Federal Election Commission and places it under control of the president, and gives tax dollars directly to political candidates.

From the right leaning of Fox News,
"Freshman Rep. Ayanna Pressley this week proposed lowering the voting age from 18 to 16, suggesting concerns about “maturity” at that age should not be an issue."
It was voted down but actually garnered 111 votes in the US House of Representatives.
I sure wish some people who consider themselves adult would think thru what they are wanting and consider setting a more mature example.
My first thought is that if it acceptable to lower the voting age to 16 then we need to go all the way and change the whole umbrella covering age related law from 18 to 16.
Drink alcohol and smoke legally at 16,
Enter the military at 16,
Be tried as an adult at 16,
Be fully and legally responsible for your actions at 16,
Have sexual relations with a 16 year old, no problem. (R Kelley and Roman Polanski would love that one)
When I was 16 I would have been fully in agreement with changing the law to consider me an adult.
Now that I am an old fart my opinion is that 18 is too low and it needs to go up to about 25.
On the other hand, maybe that was her desire all along.
She has the hots for some 16 year old (boy or girl) and is trying to figure out how to do it legally.
