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.

By the Way 

By the way, I finally got to read the links some readers sent me. Thank you. This is a nice piece about voting by Jeff Golden; then scroll down and read Patricia Lay-Dorsey's "The Elephant in the Room." Nora reminded me of the article (which I now can find) where a moderate Republican said he expected a rebellion in the Republican ranks if Bush won. I haven't seen any evidence of this yet, but I'm hoping.

It seems the Republicans are warming up to do more harm with the Patriot Act. Here's The Emperor's "spending capital speech." The war-mongererererers (I'm sure that's how you spell that) are circling—they want to be an even stronger part of the government now that they have this so-called mandate.

Even before the election, former weapons inspector Scott Ritter said the war in Iraq had made "moral cowards of us all." John Stauber says he knows how liberals could win elections, and he uses Senator Russ Feingold as an example. Feingold voted against the war in Iraq twice—and he won reelection handily. Is the lesson be ethical and vote your conscience?

What a concept! 0 comments
