I just have to wonder how many folks out here in the real world have sold their stocks in BP? Or other such companies? What about huge stockholders like the teachers union or other unions pension funds? How far can/must/should a person take their moral indignation? Should they drop such stocks? Would their unions object? Would ANY politician of ANY stripe, ilk or beliefs REFUSE money from BIg oil? Or drug companies? Or insurance companies? What every politican/union official is angling for -- a future seat on the board of directors!! NOBODY has EVER published the names on the Boards of directors of many of these super-sized corporations!! And nobody has yet named the salaries of those folks at the top of BP!
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
