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 Emperor is Pro-Poor 

Yes, indeed. I do believe the Emperor is for the poor. In fact, he is doing all in his power to make certain the poor remain poor. His administration has suspended the Davis-Bacon Act which was passed in the Depression to guarantee that workers were paid a fair wage. The suspension of this act means that construction workers in New Orleans will now probably be paid less than $9 an hour. Just pause to reflect on that number. Pretty close to slave wages, wouldn't you say? And you know who will be getting all the profits, don't you? All them there Bush cronies. Ain't America grand?
