Cambodian 'jungle woman' flees back to wild

I contemplate on doing the same thing sometimes. Why would she want to be submerged into a society with rules and ways of "living". Thats not how life should be lived. Living in the woods as a real animal would be incredible

I contemplate on doing the same thing sometimes. Why would she want to be submerged into a society with rules and ways of "living". Thats not how life should be lived. Living in the woods as a real animal would be incredible But just think of all the benefits she's missing out on.... bank accounts, taxes, voting in Elections, shopping at the 'Mall,' a nice high-rise apartment maybe in the city, sitting in traffic-jams on the tarmac'd roads, nice ready to eat pre-packaged foods with additives,.........

Living in the woods as a real animal would be incredible I think about doing it sometimes too LOL.

good riddance!i want to be free,but running in the middle of the jungle is NOT the kind of freedom i WANT

Brave New World comes to mind. The Savage is lost.

Living in the woods as a real animal would be incredible That would be quaint but there's really nowhere to go. You used to be able to escape the march of imperialist sedation. Property lined and taxed, you cannot cover your tracks. I will grow my own vegetables on someone's woodlands one day though.

Maybe they should locate Tarzan. He can talk to animals. He could tell her to get a shower, put some clothes on, and quit crapping in the woods.

poor thing.......she should never have been taken from her home and the only way of life she knows.......
