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.

White Phosphorus 

The U.S. military is using (POPUP) white phosphorus in Fallujah. White phosphorus keeps on burning after it comes in contact with the skin. Doctors in the area hospital are reporting that they're treating patients with their skin burned off and they've seen melted corpses. It was my understanding that white phosphorus was prohibited by the Geneva Convention, although I haven't been able to verify that.

I think we should all be screaming from the top of our lungs about this. IT'S WRONG! At the same time, we've got to be screaming that Gonzalez is the wrong choice for Attorney General. Prohibition of torture is NOT a quaint notion, as Gonzalez said about some of the provisions in the Geneva Convention. Nominating this man is the Emperor's way of saying, "Screw those of you who believe in human rights. We're going to spin this so that everyone will be signing this man's praises. After all, he comes from humble Hispanic roots." Here's where you can scream at the top of your lungs at the Senators and here's where you can scream at the Representatives. I'll leave a permanent link to the right of this, where the campaign stuff was.
