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.

Creating Terrorists 

What has happened and is happening in Fallujah is horrible. It is genocide. The United States is creating terrorists with every bomb they drop. And someday those terrorists this country created are going to come calling HERE. What the United States is doing in Fallujah—in all of Iraq—is just wrong. I want to know where are the Democrats on this? Where are Johns Kerry and Edwards? If you want to hear what the Iraqis think of us, read Baghdad Burning, the weblog by the "girl blogger" in Baghdad. I urge you to call your Representatives and Senators in Congress (you can find phone and email info on the right). You can always call after hours, too, and leave a message. Tell them what is happening in Fallujah is wrong. At the same time, tell them you want absolutely every vote counted. Call Johns Edwards and Kerry and ask them where they are! You promised you wouldn't quit until every vote has been counted. They haven't been counted! Where are you? Where are you as innocent civilians get slaughtered in Iraq?

While you're asking about Iraq and the voting, encourage your reps to do something to stop the theocracy that is taking over this country. The right wing religious zealots are telling Bush that he "owes" them and now he's got to get rid of the "pagans." THIS IS A RELIGIOUS WAR. I'm a pagan, darlings. Maybe you are, too. People must stand up and stop this. You don't believe this is happening? Check out Maureen Dowd's column, "Slapping the Other Cheek," for some insight on what the extreme right is planning for the next four years. 0 comments
