[hometext] => every opprotunity is afforded us to change our views and failing philosophies and yet ...
[bodytext] => Another year of elected monarchy. and the trickle down theory continues to suppress those to who the theory never applied. Tick, tick, tick. The clock continues to run through the hour. Tomorrow will not be seen. A woman is raped and still she is ashamed. The concept of power is still in the hands of those who have the tighter grip. The sisterhood is divided over boundaries of fashion... and the grip becomes tighter. Tick, tick, tick. Today has left us again, a new now is born in its wake. Democracy has come, a hierarchy was replaced. In her grand femininity she has allowed us to chose what we want to see. In this part of the world the ghetto is never seen, and something to be avoided. The rape is seldom heard and something that was probably her fault. Tick, tick, tick. In the name of progress, our clocks are always set for tomorrow.
