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.

Voting Machines 

For those of you who thought the rest of us were paranoid about voting machines, you might want to read this latest piece about it. Scientists are saying Diebold has a serious flaw. (We coulda told you that.) The article says, "Scientists, who have conferred with Diebold representatives, said Diebold programmers created the security hole intentionally as a means of quickly upgrading voting software on its electronic voting machines.

"The hole allows someone with a common computer component and knowledge of Diebold systems to load almost any software without a password or proof of authenticity and potentially without leaving telltale signs of the change."

I feel like the cartoon character whose head is shaking back and forth so quickly you can't see it. SAY WHAT?????

We may have been paranoid, but we were also right.

I'll say it again: dump these machines. Go back to paper ballots. That's the only way I can see to have an honest election.
