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.

Misdirection 

I have been watching/listening the 9/11 hearings. I will watch/listen to them tomorrow. I've never trusted Louis Freeh, and I think John Ashcroft is one of the most out of control and dangerous men in the country. I want someone to ask him why he is looking at women's medical records instead of trying to find real terrorists? In any case, I am paying attention to these hearings; however, I'm wondering if this isn't just more misdirection. If Bush did anything wrong—besides sitting on his ass in Texas on one of the longest presidential vacations in modern history—before 9/11 or if any of his underlings did anything illegal, we should find that out, sure. But the real crime, or the crime we have real evidence for right this minute, is the war in Iraq. Bush lied about the reasons for going to Iraq. He lied, they died. It seems as though that is where the country should be looking, and asking why are we there? How are we going to get out?

Speaking of Iraq. I've been listening to the new liberal Air America Radio. Although I like some of it, I'm disgusted by some of it, too. Liberals appear to be as warmongerish (yes, that's a word....I'm sure of it) as the conservatives. They keep saying, "Why didn't we go in earlier? Why didn't we bomb earlier? Why didn't we start a war earlier?" HELLO. Ask better questions. Why did this happen and what can we do to prevent it in the future? Bombing everyone into dust only works temporarily—unless you are committed to killing absolutely everyone.

Well are you, punk? 0 comments
