It was during the long years in prison, she said, that "gradually I began to realize that I had let myself be used. ... I definitely think that it was wrong. I think I was misled. I think I was mistaken. I think I made a serious error."
Didn't take her but 32 years in prison to figure that out.
Moore, who had been loosely associated with leftist groups in California, said she "wasn't prepared" for the things she learned about the extent of poverty and other problems.
Public education was bad even way back then.
"It was a time that people don't remember. You know, we had a war ... the Vietnam War, you became — I became — immersed in it," Moore said Thursday.
Hippies spaced out on drugs.
"We were saying the country needed to change. The only way it was going to change was a violent revolution. I genuinely thought that (shooting Ford) might trigger that new revolution in this country."
Lucky she didn't meet up with Bill Ayers.
She said she now knows she was hearing only one side of the story. "We thought San Francisco was the world, and it wasn't."
They still think San Francisco is the world.

I saw a part of her interview this morning....from the part I saw, it made me think she didn't learn much in jail and should maybe still be there! ::)

This is the part that gets me.

This is sort of the impression I get from people who join the far, leftist groups. (By far leftist, I do not mean the Democrat Party of Amnesty International). They come off as middle class people who didn't know much about real life before coming on campus. I know I have the middle class part right, and I think the same was probably true way back when, but I can't prove that. If you live in a reall small town where you don't typically see the homeless, it can come as a shock to be driving to the university and find a homeless guy begging.

Oh, I dunno.
The Bible speaks of soul-crushing poverty quite a bit.
