In any democracy that is sinking into a dictatorship they go after the women who have enjoyed a modicum of freedom. The douchebags who are their puppets (who frequently, but not always, also happen to be white men) are insanely desperate to imagine themselves like the puppeteers and they'll do or say anything no matter how STUPID it makes them look to the remaining sane people.<br /><br />The Taliban springs to mind. I also keep thinking about a scene in that superb movie "Missing" about the U.S. orchestrated overthrow in Chilé, where soldiers with bayonets accost a woman on the street who is wearing slacks, and slash them to make them into a long skirt.<br /><br />I keep wondering if we're foolish not to leave before the borders are sealed.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333782408387579016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488578199124136143.post-15418102607543714032012-06-22T10:16:44.500-04:002012-06-22T10:16:44.500-04:00It's really an odd thing about us, Francis.
