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.

Children Used as Guinea Pigs 

...not that guinea pigs should be used as guinea pigs either. I thought I'd heard it all. Apparently not. In fact, when I was first told about this, I didn't believe it. I did some research, and as far as I can tell, it is real. The EPA wants to pay (POPUP) a bunch of poor families a little cash, plus a camcorder, so that they can study the effects of chemicals, primarily pesticides, on children. They're not going to introduce chemicals, the EPA reassures us, they're just not going to tell the parents WHAT EVERY REPUTABLE SCIENTIST ON THE PLANET KNOWS: children should not be exposed to pesticides and other toxic chemicals.

Do these experiments remind you of anything? Can we all spell N-A-Z-I together!

If you want to try and stop this, go here.
