In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Police State? 

Have you heard about Dudley Hiibel? He refused to give identification to a police officer who wouldn't tell Hiibel why he wanted the ID. So the police arrested him. Then when his daughter jumped out of her truck when she saw her father was being arrested, they threw her to the ground, handcuffed her, and arrested her. Watch the tape. It's amazing. This is not a police state. The police are here to serve and protect. They need to remember that.

Did you see The Practice last night? Camryn Manheim who plays Ellenor gave a great closing argument about "free speech zones." Her client had hit a police officer when he tried to remove her from the group of people who were supporters of President Bush. She was also a supporter of President Bush, but she had some questions about some of his policies. The police said she had to be in the "free speech zone" which was several miles away—where Bush would never see her. She thought that was wrong because she believed all of the United States was a free speech zone. I'm assuming David Kelly wrote the episode. Bravo to him.
