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.

Freedom of Speech R.I.P.? 

A teacher in North Carolina asked her students to demonstrate what our Bill of Rights means. One student expressed the right to dissent by creating an anti-Bush poster. The student took a photo of Bush, put a hand with the thumbs down next to Bush and took a photograph of it. The student went to Wal-Mart to get the photos processed. A Wal-Mart employee called the police; the police turned the matter over to the Secret Service; the Secret Service interrogated the student, took the poster (secretly) from the classroom, and interrogated the teacher. They told the teacher someone higher up would determine whether the student would be INDICTED or not. I think we should all put up anti-Bush posters EVERYWHERE and we should all boycott Wal-Mart. (We don't shop there so it'll be easy for us.) Wow.
