Just my opinion, but it didn't sound like hate in the story... It's
possible in Shampoo to hit such a point.  It's tragic. It's sad.  But it's
not unrealistic, considering her attitude in life and towards life.
*smiles*  It may sound cruel, but then again, not every ending is all nice
and rosy... there are some dead ends and sad snippages.  This is one.

Yeah... if there was any hatred (and distaste is probably a better word)
in the story, it was for the Amazon culture Shampoo came from.  Am I the
only person who thought the "If at first you fail, you will never
succeed" line was hilarious?  It was such a screwed up thing for a
society to believe in.  Shampoo was portrayed as a victim, and she even
managed to overcome it for a while, by giving up on trapping Ranma over
Colonge's protests.

Overall, it was a very good story, but I'm kinda burnt out on sadfics at
the moment.
