    There was just an article in the Boston Globe about how the nearby town of Revere is protesting the schools handing out contraception, which leads me to wonder where public opinion really lies? It's ok to be scandalized by a hyped up version of the story (i.e. Lifetime movie) but not ok to take real action to prevent it from happening? I realize I'm generalizing here, but it's confounding to me.

    This is not at all surprising.

    Yesterday I did nothing but eat enchiladas and watch TV. Lifetime is developing a movie based on my female struggle entitled "Cheese Come Undone". They've already made an offer to Thora Birch.

    I'm somewhat amazed that there hasn't already been a Lifetime movie on this.

    I mean it's not like they spend tons of time and care getting the script and acting perfect.

    Law and Order got an episode out in a couple months. You're making us ladies look lazy and behind the news cycle Lifetime!

    I have no problem with Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace prize but I wish I had known about this amazing woman before she passed. It's so funny that these people who risked their lives to save others all seem to be so humble and reticent. The Dutch woman who sheltered Anne Frank (I think I know her name but I'm not sure) was the same way. God bless all of them for being able to retain their humanity at a time when so many willingly gave it up.

    Slight correction: anyone who endured leg crushings to save 2,500 children from certain death and torture should be refered to by her proper title, Her Honorary Badass Motherfucker HellYeah.

    Al Gore is overrated.

    I love that she saved their names, understanding the importance of their identity, it's a detail like that which says so much about her.


    Awesome.

    I'm definitely watching this! That's a wonderful story. And this also impressed me: "but Sendler's story did not come to larger attention until 1999, when three Kansas ninth-graders, began researching her for a history project."


    BTW, that's such a lovely picture of her. Bravo Irena Sendler! if only the world had more people like you :)

    @KotaShi: Yeah, I seriously cannot get over that. I'm surprised that a)committee chose him over her and b) that he did not just GIVE it to her once he was awarded.


    Sometimes I hope there is an afterlife just so that people like her get rewarded for their good deeds.
