She started out fine. I really admired her. But now she has become too enamored with herself. And NO, not because Righties say so.

I was thinking about Anne Frank but not sure if there is a lot to admire other than she kept a diary. She is a symbol of anti-Semitism, that is for sure, but other than that, she never accomplished anything one could point to.
 
Mom. I don't tell her enough now much I admire all that she has done.

I think her existence was an accomplishment. Her story opened the eyes of millions to the evil that was the Holocaust. That diary, for me, led me to study quite a bit about the Holocaust, moreso than any dry history class ever could.

If Thunberg contributes to the destruction of economies to 'combat climate change'' she is hurting everyone.

Yes, a cleaner environment is going to spell the end of us all. Oh, the humanity.

I tend to believe that those who would put money ahead of health are more dangerous, but that's just me.

Don't get me wrong, her diary did set a landmark. And as I stated, she has become a symbol. And my comment was by no means a put down of her character.
But that had more to do with historians, publishers (of her diary), and activists who wanted to highlight the horrors of the Holocaust through her name.
But none of this was accomplished by her herself. Nor did she have any inkling of what her legacy would be. My choices were for ones who set out on a mission and accomplished their missions through determination and grit.
