Bernadine is an Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University law School, last I heard about a year ago. Her husband, Bill Ayers, wrote a book last year and was all over TV promoting it. He said he would do it again, only w/more force, this time.
These folks were the children of wealthy socialist attorneys, ie: Red Diaper Babies. Serving time is a mark of honor in these families.
Bernadine Dohrn is 62. IIRC, she is from Whitefish Bay, WI, then an upper class suburb of Milwaukee. Some of the other weatherpeople are a bit younger, in their mid-late 50s. Mark Rudd teaches math at an ABQ community college. Rudd is still involved in anti-war actions. (via google)
Glad the Feds are watching them all.
As someone who is 61, this is not necessarily elderly, today. Yes, one needs ones' sleep on a more regular basis and probably wouldn't be happy living on pizza and beer and perhaps they have some arthritis, but barring life-threatening conditions, they could easily be training terrorists as we speak. I do physical work on my feet all day and can still swim 1/4 mile in 20 minutes, for example.
Thanks for the update. I hope the feds are watching...when they aren't shooting women holding babies and incinerating churches filled with women and children.
[Oopps..sorry that was uncalled for....NOT!] ;)
