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.

Kerry: Help is On the Way 

I didn't agree with everything Kerry said, of course. But I don't need to. I thought it was the best speech I've ever seen him give. He even made a joke about being born in the west wing—of a hospital in Colorado.

I watched the speech twice. Here are some quotes.

"Trees are cathedrals of nature."

We must "complete the march toward full equality for all women in the United States of America."

"I will appoint an Attorney General who will uphold the constitution of the United States."

We must "bring back the time-honored" policy that the "United States of America never goes to war because we want to; we only go when we have to."

"We will end the back door draft of the national guard and reservists."

"When Americans speak their minds, it isn't a challenge to patriotism,it is the heart and soul of patriotism."

"I don't want to claim that God is on our side." Instead I want to remember what Abraham Lincoln said and "pray humbly and hope that we are on God's side."

Good job, Mr. Kerry.
