My Sympathy To The Parents....

Here's a very sad story.  I send all my sympathy to the parents who beat their brains in trying to raise this girl right.

...Raised and home-schooled by her conservative, Christian family, Steffenhagen started learning more about alternative viewpoints when she entered college at Concordia University in Mequon. Steffenhagen said her political views really shifted from liberal to socialist when she realized it was implausible to achieve what she was told — get a degree, a salaried job with good benefits and own a home in a good neighborhood.

She doesn't talk to her family right now because of her political views. Steffenhagen described her family as middle class. Neither of her parents graduated from college. 

"They didn’t realize capitalism was screwing them over — not the welfare state," she said. "They wanted to say they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps." 

Steffenhagen said her parents have dismissed her ideas. 

"People do get more conservative as they age," she said. "I hope that doesn’t happen to me." ...

Actually, sweetie, the people who get 'more conservative' are people who matured, not just "aged."  There are plenty of socialist twits who are past the age of 60, and it ain't pretty on them.
