The timing of the rant was wayyy off. A few months before putting it out would have helped. The content, though, not far from what a lot of people thought.

Yup, she's not the most sensitive individual, is she? I'm annoyed about the Monica Ali issue too..

Drunken Master said...

Politically incorrect and insensitive for sure, but one can argue her comments are not always wholly inaccurate. Thought provoking would be a milder way to put it.

I'd rather read what people like her have to say than listen to the ignoramus idiots on cable news here.

All right, she's not exactly Captain Sensitivity, and the timing is in bad taste. However, I don't see why people are treating him like a hero. Why is his death any more tragic than those of the 15,000 or so other people who died that day? Because he liked animals?

Raindrop said...

She's mostly factually incorrect, and relies heavily on raw emotional appeal. I think the guy had it coming, but I think she just intended to shock rather than air an honest opinion.

I don't much about ms Greer but the fact is that animals do need their space. Steve Irwin made a lot of facts about animals popular and pots of money. But don't greave death, untimely or otherwise.
