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.

Hell Freezing Over Part Two 

Mario came home for lunch this afternoon and said, "Tucker doesn't think he can vote for Bush."

"What? Tucker Carlson?" The conservative talking head? "Why? Because of the deficit?"

Mario shook his head. "Because of the war. There’s an article in the current Esquire."

Wow. I almost had to sit down. I was shocked! Is there really a light at the end of the tunnel?

There's no link to the article, but Mario got this from the library copy of "A Conservative's Dilemma" by Tucker Carlson, in the September 2004 issue of Esquire:

"...it is because he [Bush] is weak that we invaded Iraq....I believe this was a colossal error—made in good faith, but a mistake nonetheless. It will be hard for me to vote for a man who has done something so reckless....John Kerry isn't really an alternative. So it's Bush or no one. That will be my choice on November 2. I still haven't decided which will get my
vote."

Personally, I think one should make a choice, even if that choice is for a third party. I don't think not voting is a good alternative. Just my opinion. However, maybe other conservatives out there are deciding not to vote for Bush—and they will vote for Kerry.

Thanks, Mar.
