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.

Prove Him Wrong 

I believe Bush and Karl Rove think the American people are stupid. Maybe they're right. After all, the American people elected him president. (Or did they?) I'm hoping we'll prove Bush and his cronies wrong: the American people aren't stupid. Today, for instance, while Bush gave speeches about how much his administration is doing for the environment (how could anyone keep a straight face?), behind the scenes the EPA was meeting with oil industry officials "to discuss a plan to relax pollution standards for gasoline. The plan would allow higher sulfur content gasoline to be sold during the summer months. According to Frank O'Donnell of Clean Air Trust 'because sulfur is a prime contributor to both urban smog and soot, it could also result in an increase in health problems.'" Yep, that's our green president. He gets himself going every morning by cheering himself on with, "Hip hip, betray! Hip hip, betray!"
