Wy has a point, Beth. I wouldn't want to see ol' Cookie as an object of pity, either--though I'd stop short of redeeming her. People like her are important, in their own way. Y'need some spice in your cookies, as it were. (When I was in high school, there were girls like this. They were all cheerleaders...)
