Giovani of course is an extreme leftist, and thus her view of the world's list of tragedies includes interpretations of some phenomena that you and I refute. However, her list here isn't so bad, and even includes interpretations that coincide with mine, and I assume yours as well.

If this is what passes for an educated person on a college campus, I am surprised that more students haven't gone nutts.
