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.

The Dead 

While the U.S. military prepares to destroy Fallujah, millions of us are wondering what has happened to this country. Let this be a lesson to all of you living in a democracy or a republic. It can all slip away like THAT. It is fragile, it is tenuous. If you let fear rule the day, if you let prejudice slip into law, if you do not act, your government will go the way of ours.

We will continue to dance, to dance into creation a more compassionate, fairer, better country. We will dance our talk, dance our walk.

If you haven't read what Michael Moore has said about the election, you might want to. He has "17 Reasons Not to Slit Your Wrists." But scroll down past that after you read it, for his thoughts right after the election. I'm sure many of you had the same thoughts, thoughts for the dead. Over 100,000 Iraqis and 1,100 U.S. soldiers are dead because of decisions made by our government. They are dead from equipment and armaments bought with our tax dollars.

In other words we paid to have them killed.

May they rest in peace. May we rise up and stop the killing.
