Crones rule.
A group of anti-war grandmothers gathered Monday to call attention to the growing loss of lives in Iraq by reading the names of the dead -- a day after the American death toll in Iraq reached 3,000.
About 60 people from the group Grandmothers Against the War and their supporters read the names of the war dead from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut in Manhattan's Rockefeller Center as curious tourists took their photos.
And yet, In New York, a group of counter-protesters said the grandmothers were insulting U.S. troops, who need support during the Iraq war.
The granny group later walked to the military recruiting center in Times Square.
Fuck the counter-protestors. Just fuck them. Fuck them.

Have you ever noticed how when pop culture describes the phases of a woman's life - maiden, mother, crone - they leave out warrior? I find that particularly interesting.
The older I get the more thankful I am that I was raised to treat the opinions of my elders with respect.
