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.

Faces of the Fallen 

I've been looking at the faces of the soldiers who have been killed in Iraq. It is heartbreaking, yet I feel like I should be a witness to their deaths—or that every American should be a witness, since our tax dollars are paying for them to be there. Many of them have died in accidents, not from hostile fire. Isn't there something they can do to prevent that? Get better vehicles? Train drivers better? It must be horrible for everyone involved. I hope they all come home soon. (I've put a link to Faces of the Fallen and Baghdad Burning: the Girl Blog from Iraq on the right side of the blog.)
