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.

War of the Fanatics 

Here's that essay I wrote about the 9/11 hearings, Richard Clarke's book, and the parallels between al Qaeda and the Bush Administration.

Does any of the following sound familiar to you? Americans celebrated the end of a war and cheered a very popular king. It soon became apparent that the war had depleted the kingdom's coffers. So the king passed a series of restrictive measures. The Americans could not import goods from any place but Britain. To stop smuggling, the prime minister set up new courts which didn't give people their usual rights: like trial by jury. Plus officials could now search ships, stores, houses, and warehouses if they suspected something had been smuggled. The Brits also imposed new taxes. The Americans got pissed off and a revolution was born. I read all this and thought, "Hmmmm."
