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.

"America voted for the asphalt jungle" 

Some superb writers are out there stirring up the pot. It's great to see. Derrick Z. Jackson sums up what happened November 2 quite succinctly: "America voted for the asphalt jungle."

I'm still having trouble believing so many of my fellow countrymen and women are that stupid. But then, I never thought Ronald Reagan would be elected.

Frank Rich has an interesting piece about the red and blue "values"—and what a joke it is. Look at the "red" state values via their representatives Bill Bennett, Jack Ryan, Newt Gingrich, etc. A bunch of hypocrites. Rich says blue values in a landslide! (POPUPS and you have to sign in, but it was the only place I could find it.)

From the ridiculous to the sublime...in case you needed a reason to practice compassion and meditation, here's an article about the changes that occur in the brains of monks who meditate on compassion.
