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.

Standing Up! 

This Sunday, 1 million people are expected in D.C. to march for women's rights. We are having our own march here in the Columbia River Gorge, and I suspect other communities around the country are doing the same. The Bush Administration has done more damage to women's rights than probably any other administration. When Ashcroft was being interviewed (and asked very easy questions) by the 9/11 commission, I wanted someone to stand up and say, "Look, buddy, how come you're looking at women's medical records instead of going after real terrorists?" But no one did. I finally watched the tape of the hearings this morning. I kept wondering if Ashcroft had something on all these commissioner since they were not very tough on him. Hell, they weren't tough on him at all. They practically bowed down and kissed his feet.
