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.

Waiting for Kucinich 

I've got the Democratic National Convention on and I'm waiting for Dennis Kucinich to speak. I've listened to most of the speeches today, although I've had it on in the background while I did writing work. As usual Robert Kennedy jr. had very important things to say. He should have been in primetime, and it disturbs me he wasn't. Isn't the environment important to Kerry? Kennedy said that the environment cannot and should not be a political issue. He said that four years ago if you asked all the environmental leaders what the main danger to the environment was, many of them would have had different answers: overpopulation, depleted ozone layer, etc. He said now if you asked, every single environmental leader would say the biggest danger to the environment is George W. Bush. I'll try to find a link to his speech later. You can watch it here on C-Span (keyword search "Kennedy"). Plus they'll reshow it later tonight.

If you didn't get a chance to hear Barack Obama's speech last night, you should. He gives great speech. (Except for all the god stuff—that's really getting on my nerves. However, I recognize he and all the rest of them have a right to go on and on and on and on about their god...)

I got work to do. Later, moi gators.
