She likes Noam Chomsky (mind you: so do I), but she also reads The Economist, so she's not as leftist as all that.
Despite my what remains of my (o! so happily, rapidly, dwindling anger), I have to say you're jumping to quickly to stereotype. Laura may (or may not; I honestly don't know) be riding a fast train to self-destruction, but she's a pretty unusual person. Dismissing whatever she's doing as merely a "phase of teen age [angst?]" is too easy.
Though I say it myself, I would not have spent two and half years loving just any hot teenage girl who was willing to fuck me.
