Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats." Diane Arbus My life seems to operate sideways~ backwards almost~ and I have come to see thats right for me. A rain of snakes,disruption that cause's growth ,the world split in two.Everyone has there own path,mine has been one of thought,mostly of things folks today seem to disregard. Truth, personal integrity,politeness,...not all eschew these things.For me its been the easiest way to be~ any other way leads me to more trouble..and a sense of humor,above all about myself. Laughter keeps a person sane,and I enjoy seeing the coyote in myself~ the eternal trickster

Thanks to those women before me
No matter where one lands in the political spectrum, today was historic. Ninety women in the House,and the first female Speaker of the House. I recall the stories from my Nana,about her first vote ,how proud she felt . That lead me to the Suffragettes, the first women who petitioned the government for change, the right to vote. They rallied,spoke,marched,went to jail~some starved, some brutally murdered~ all so we could finally be "taxed with representation".I hope that we women take to heart,our vote, use our voices to make change. I hope that these new represenatives enable our government to have a gentler hand,a more civilized national discourse. And I hope that they make those Suffragetts proud~even while they wonder why did it take so long?? 1 comments from 1 users

Right you are sagefever; it took remarkable courage for those pioneers advocating women should be treated with equality to men. But the equal value of women to men has a shamefully long way yet to go. I hope those like Nancy Pelosi will make a needed contribution to this essential goal for the sake of some sanity in politics at the very least.
