Guest guest Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hi All: On the news today is a video of a 17-year old girl being stoned to death. Thousands of young women are stoned to death each year. Young women are stoned to DEATH, not young men. I would propose that if this does not break your heart, if it does not arouse your passion, then you are lulled by the patriarchy instilled in your heart, a patriarchal vision in your mind, which has lulled you into a coca-cose, xanax-filled, deadening of your heart. You have been told there is nothing you can do. You have been told it is okay to cat claw another woman. You have been told it is okay for us to kill and maim thousands of children in Iraq and to be silent. And in our silence, three species of tigers have died in this century. And, in our muteness, the Southern Ocean which was to be the carbon sink for 25% of the 500 billion tons of Carbon which is man-made carbon pollution which was supposed to be available until 2050, has been discovered to be completely full now. Right now. So, I propose that if it doesn't arouse your passion, when your grandchildren starve to death from lack of food and water, because our oil is going to reach its fullness in 2008, and they die in your arms; then perhaps you will find your voice. Instead of telling me that I am boastful, ego-filled and evil (thank you, Alice). Five hundred years ago, only the royalty, nobility, and scholars could write. Three hundred years ago, only men could write. Today everyone can write. It is the same with being a mystic, it's available to you, now. May it fill your heart with enough passion that you do not need to throw stones at me. Love, Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
