Mixed news:

Was driving in rural western NC today. Not a Dole sign to be seen, nor a Hagan sign either. Tons of Bush/Palan and Foxx signs though :-(

Sigh. No one around. I thought we were discussing Liddy Dole. Alas, chocolate was the topic of the discussion. Nothing wrong with chocolate, but WTF?

The english title of that would be, “It Came to Pass”. Maybe that will help track down the lyrics in english

I used that google thingy:

Burning Times

In the cool of the evening they used to gather
‘Neath the stars in the meadow circled near an old oak tree
At the times appointed by the seasons of the earth
And the phases of the moon
In the center stood a woman
Equal with the others and respected for her worth
One of the many we call the witches
The healers and the teachers of the wisdom of the earth
And the people grew through the knowledge she gave them
Herbs to heal their bodies, spells to make their spirits whole
Can’t you hear them chanting healing incantations
Calling for the wise ones, celebrating in dance and song

Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inana

There were those who came to power through domination
And they bonded in the worship of a dead man on a cross
They sought control of the common people
By demanding allegiance to the Church of Rome
And the Pope declared an Inquisition
It was a war against the women whose power they feared
In this Holocaust against the nature people
Nine million European women died
And the tale is told of those who by the hundreds
Holding together chose their death in the sea
While chanting the praises of the Mother Goddess
A refusal of betrayal – women were dying to be free

Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inana

Now the Earth is a witch, and the men still burn her
Stripping her down with mining and the poisons of their war
Still to us, the Earth is a healer, a teacher a mother
A weaver of a web of life that keeps us all alive
She gives us the vision to see through the chaos
She gives us the courage, it is our will to survive

Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inana

I’ve been at work, but I can’t imagine Rachel saying that. She’s on board for making sure people vote and not become complacent.

I didn’t know Dole changed the constitution…the part that separates religion and government. That is exactly what is wrong with inserting religion, these kind of stupid ad hominem attacks. Same with the anti-gay marriage amendments, separation guys. It was for a reason.
