you know I raise this issue before the break about
I mister open chain who is running for attorney general a Virginia the
republican
senator from Virginia state senator who is running to become the Attorney
General to replace Ken Cuccinelli
Ken Cuccinelli course running for the for the governorship
against Terry McAuliffe whose seems to be beating him but
mister could shelley has succeeded in knocking some 50,000 people of the
voting rolls just last week or so
and we know how that we know we've switched so that will be played out in
2010
in Florida so who knows but I asked the question
semi-retire a clay but I think it's actually a legitimate serious question
and that is
you know I operating on the
the the Primus that the republican party does not want the government to be
so large that it can fit into the smokestacks the Koch brothers
refineries it does not want the government be large enough to fit into
the
offices of Goldman Sachs regulate their banking activities
but it is so they want to shrink it down to the size where I mean Grover Norquist
famously said
I want to destroy government that we should have a clipper I don't know if
you've got that we ate there he said on npr
Tamara lies in is that I don't destroy government I just want to shrink it down
the size but
right and round at No in in the bathtub you make it small enough that I can
drown about that and
or I have a drain on the battery something like that but it appears that
what these guys seriously what
you know whether it's governor ultrasound you wanted to
to force an altar son what sound want up into the ***
and against the uterus have every woman in the state of Virginia who wants to
have an abortion
or weather and and make no mistake about it that's forced
thats literally at the point of a gun if you object
and I think in most places they call that ***
or whether it's senator over Shane wants to have Ken Cuccinelli's job who
suggested that any woman who's had a miscarriage should immediately your
not me not should must under penalty of going to prison for a year
must report herself to the local police department I
hospital a police department if she has a miscarriage what causes these
typically older white men
to want to have such control
over the reproductive functions love women is it
some kind of just fundamental *** in security
know it's too small
well maybe I can pretend it's bigger by controlling these women
is a bad or
is it misogyny is it just a been a fundamental hatred of women
the
the the first girlfriend they had brought their harder they didn't like
their older sister their mom used to be to my are
who knows I mean it or just you know or
is that even deeper than that and I suspect it is frankly my personal
opinion on this
is that women are the ones
who have the genuinely sacred power they bring life
into the world and
when you look around you with the natural world
what you see is the celebration in nature
he sensually above the famine pretty much everything we eat
you know horn wheat these are
seeds these are the eggs these the over
of plants these are from the female parts of the plants
flowers so the female parts plan all the male part is the
the pistols in was that this the same as the female the
does the pistol is that in any case whatever it is like Amber pistols damage
but
but the flowers are are there to facilitate reproduction
the the fruits and vegetables that we eat
I is arguably red vegetables aren't so involved in reproductive function
although what they do is they store enough energy that in the second year
a biennial plant with carrots and potatoes and things like that a biennial
plant the second year has enough energy stored in a row dicken
they can throw out flowers so it can reproduce
so basically the world is alive the world I mean you know
the the the natural world is like a giant mother
it's this feminine power in principle that just drives
everything and men just
you know the what what pollen does what *** does what
what the mail function does is basically just flips that on
in a way that you know moves DNA around and
in ways that further the
survival spree a species but
you know arguably the men are not all that necessary in fact that the more
proof and science becomes less necessary men become
and I think that that's the reason why you've seen these are options and we're
in the tail end of what I believe is a seven thousand year long
eruption I love male insanity
%uh men dominating women men dominating other men
in order to dominate their women
war I C all this stuff
I see is insanity and and you look at the iroquois
confederacy here in in North America
Ben Franklin introduce 34 iroquois elders to the Constitutional Convention
in the summer 1787 in philadelphia
and they spent a couple nights up on the second floor sleeping there
and they blast are you know the the the
the people that the the man who had gathered to write a constitution
and he said I'm I'm doing this from memory so it's in perfect but it's close
to what he said he said if and and back then
Eggert savages was not considered a slur so he was speaking highly of his books
he said a five nations a bigger in savages have been able to forge a bond
that has lasted in peace for a thousand years
and certainly thirteen colonies educated englishman can do the same
spend Franklin now a Ben Franklin new but he didn't talk about
and Jefferson UN here actually writes about his diaries
is that four out of the five nations are the year quite confederacy did not allow
men to vote
and they lived in peace for a long long time they'd figured out they
resolve their conflicts biplane lacrosse literally
I mean there's a painting Justin in the National Gallery just a fifth
people oxen here huge painting
I forget the artist's name is that if scan a semi famous
eighteenth-century painter maybe early 19th century painter
other iroquois quote battle 10,000 Uruguay's
the men out there and it looks like a war
acceptance there's no blood because they're playing it's a it was a four-day
lacrosse game
to stew resolve a dispute between two tribes
case really pretty amazing
so I ask you what do you think
white why are these guys saw you know why would
why would to senator open chain
who wants to be the Attorney General a Virginia the river this republican why
would he sponsored a law saying that if a woman has a miscarriage
she must report herself to the local police department within 24 hours
and she feels too she faces a year in prison why would he do that
I think there's something very deep in our culture
that drives this kinda bizarre behavior something that we need to heal
