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.

Enemies of the State 

JUSTICE JACKSON: Protective custody meant that you were taking people into custody who had not committed any crime but who, you thought, might possibly commit a crime?

HERMANN GOERING: Yes. People were arrested and taken into protective custody who had not yet committed any crime, but who could be expected to do so if they remained free. . . the original reason for creating the concentration camps was to keep there such people whom we rightfully considered enemies of the state.

Tell me again why Dick Durbin apologized?
