The Furious Spinner

"To stand in silence while they should be protesting makes cowards out of men." —Abraham Lincoln

(We'll just assume old Abe meant women, too.)

Have you seen this video from wewillnotbesilenced.com? You can watch it right on line. We all need to be standing up to those who would silence us, to those who would destroy this country and our planet. We need to look after our neighbors. We need to be part of the peace movement in whatever manner we can.

I haven't forgotten Cindy Sheehan. No matter what they say about her, remember: She is a woman who gave birth to a boy they killed. The corporate media showed all the protesters against her this weekend, yet they failed to show those who have supported her for weeks. They failed to show the hundred of marches and the millions of anti-war protesters before the beginning of the war. We can't count on the corporate media to tell the truth; we can't count on our government to save us. We must do it ourselves.

Here is a quote by Audre Lord I've always liked:

"When I dare to be powerful,to use my strength in the service of my vision, it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."

It made me think of Cindy Sheehan.
