My misto, Loyla, nyes tuka (ah, I had it spelled wrong last time! And, sometime, I really need to learn the proper pronunciation, too:-)

I agree with you, Sorcha and Greg. The far right has been methodically building their base, from the school boards and city councils on up for over 20 years now. This is something I've studied and written about for several years. Their goal always has been to get to the top and change this country back to what they think it once was - god-fearing, woman-hating, enslaving, elitist, etc. They will continue to get their way unless there is a concerted effort, a grassroots groundswell, and much as I love the internet and the communication it engenders, I don't know if it is good for motivating people to take to the streets; it seems too easy, in a way, to sit at one's computer and just watch it all happen or not.

My youngest daughetr who is 23 has always said there would be a revolution involving her generation; I hope the majority of them have been raised like her and are not clones of the far right, but I guess if they were there wouldn't be a need, if it ever comes to pass there will have to be an antagonist, right?

Sorcha is right, though, Loyla, I am sorry to say. We who are in the rural areas cannot travel so far, leaving behind all of our family and responsibilities and if we tried to take action here we would be villified, possibly worse. My studies of hate crimes in Wyoming has made me careful and sometimes, I hate to say it because it is not my nature, but also circumspect. I guess if we want to do any good, we are going to have to move where there are a few more of our stripes, eh? I pretty much wrote Wyoming off a long time ago for any kind of enlightened change.

Lash drom, Loyla,
