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.

Facts and Figures on Fahrenheit 9/11 

If you haven't checked out Michael Moore's website lately, you might want to. Here's his piece on his first week after the movie opened. I don't agree with Moore on everything; that's a given—I don't 100% agree with anyone, as far as I know. I even argue with myself. If I had made a movie about the Bush administration, I would have focused on other things. So what? This is Moore's movie. I think he's done a good thing by making the movie. He will be posting a full FAQ about the movie soon "so that you can have all the necessary backup and evidence from the film when you find yourself in heated debate with your conservative brother-in-law!" But, he says, "Every single fact I state in 'Fahrenheit 9/11' is the absolute and irrefutable truth....Do not let anyone say this or that isn't true. If they say that, they are lying....the OPINIONS in the film are mine....And the questions I pose in the movie, based on these irrefutable facts, are also mine. And I have a right to ask them. And I will continue to ask them until they are answered." 0 comments
