I realized after I posted that my post was not totally sensitive to mentally compromised individuals (or the vision and voices gifted). LOL! You know, I found her really inspirational when I was a tweener and still under the spell of the Church. Perhaps it's just sentimental, but I still have some affection for her. I never use her name any more. I don't even use my original middle name or even an initial. But Saint Joan played a role in making me the adult I grew into and I appreciate her for that. She was definitely strong. But it's OK with me if you call her a nutter. Karen

"But I don't feel right about calling her "nutters" Wrong again eh, X? Well nothing new in your day. newadvent.org I suppose anyone that relies on their subjective senses, their inner voice, and follows what they believe to be a true calling and achieves spiritual and worldly success would be considered "nutters" or more likely obscene. As far as violence goes if used to over throw a violent regime more power to mademoiselle. I never thought much of Joan of Arc, Mother Teresa or Ayn Rand before you Gore Gals started harping incessantly. I think it boils down to influence, money and sex. Joan of Arc, Mother Teresa and Ayn Rand had power, wealth and sexual control. All accumulated and used in completely different ways and many found that to be offensive. Offensive that a woman can have control, men don't like it and neither do women. I see your resentment directed at others and their success in life. Just remember Wayne Gretzky was not 100% better than the next player he was consistently 10% better and that made all the difference. I believe if you follow the money you always find the real culprit. Who do you think is the most resentful that millions of dollars fly in to Mother Teresa? I would say it is the drug companies and the best way to impose their drugs is to impose our western morality on these people. The argument about education does not fly, after you teach them to read and write, what tools (information pamphlet) are you going to hand them? Getting third world women to hate their male counterparts and getting their male counterparts to agonize over their appendages is what this is all about. Big drug companies have already convinced millions of third world women that blonde blue eyed babies in the west hate breast milk, but love baby formula. All designed to sell them what they can never have or will never be. And what an obscene racist gesture that is.
