Look at the mess our Earth, our people our animals have become with men of the patriarchy, the chest pounding boys club, as decision makers for centuries.The world should be taken from their care & placed in the hands of natural healers, nurturers, compassionate leaders.
The boys only club is coming to an end.
Thank the universe in its endless evolution to survive.

"They refused to allow her use of the hall," Keiler says, "because she was black and because there was a white-artist-only clause printed in every contract issued by the DAR."
Like the nation's capital, Constitution Hall was segregated then. Black audiences could sit in a small section of the balcony, and did, when a few black performers appeared in earlier years. But after one such singer refused to perform in a segregated auditorium, the DAR ruled that only whites could appear on their stage.
One of the members of the DAR was first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Outraged by the decision, Roosevelt sent a letter of resignation and wrote about it in her weekly column, "My Day." "They have taken an action which has been widely criticized in the press," she wrote. "To remain as a member implies approval of that action, and therefore I am resigning."
The DAR did not relent. According to Keiler, the idea to sing outdoors came from Walter White, then executive secretary of the NAACP. Since the Lincoln Memorial was a national monument, the logistics for the day fell to Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes. It was Ickes who led Anderson onto the stage on April 9, 1939.
MARION ANDERSON was a remarkable woman of talent and strength.
"You never heard in her voice, a single tone of meanness, bitterness, blame, it was simply lacking," he says. "There is something saintly in that. Something deeply human and good."

(1,307 posts)5. I support Hillary for one reason
She is the best qualified candidate in this race, GOP or Dem. I am a huge Obama guy and when he chose here to be Madam Secretary that was all I needed. Since then I have continued to be impressed with her knowledge on every subject.
