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.

Fear-mongering Losing 

Perhaps the bad guys don't always win. Maybe all the Republicans are not sleazy right-wing fundamentalist whackos. It looks like the constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage is going down in flames, so to speak. As I've said here before, the Republicans need to take back their party. How can true fiscal conservatives call this administration conservative? How can they vote for Bush when they look at the deficit—let alone how he lied about Iraq, how he is using the terror alerts for political gain, and how he is trying to stir up fear of gays. As Barbara Boxer said on the Senate floor today, (paraphrased) "If you're worried about someone else's gay marriage damaging your own marriage, you've got some other problems you need to be dealing with."

And least anyone forget how terrible Bush is regarding the environment, read this piece about air pollution.

Speaking of pollution, they are once again spreading carcinogenic pesticides over the school's lawn (across the street from us) tomorrow morning. I'm just at a loss for words and trying not to fall into grief. (Isn't there a piece of land with a little house on it that I can take care of, somewhere, someplace, where they don't use pesticides?) I'll be leaving my home. Not sure to where or for how long, but you probably won't hear from me for a bit.

Take care. 0 comments
