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.

Oppose Logging Bill 

My representative in Congress, Brian Baird, who is almost always on the green side of issues, seems to have made a bad misstep this time by joining forces with Representative Greg Walden, who is always on the wrong side of nearly every issue, to co-sponsor a logging bill, H.R. 4200. As part of the doublespeak Congress is so fond of, they named the bill the "Forest Emergency Recovery and Research Act." Uh-huh. Sort of like the Katrina Recovery program. Pillage is the buzzsaw word. I'm really surprised by Baird and it's making me rethink my support for him. If you are of a mind, call or email your reps to let them know the science behind this bill is Bush-science, i.e. nonscience. You don't have to be specific when you call if you don't want. Just tell them you oppose it and they put a check mark in a column yeah or nay and count them up at the end of the day.
