They called women all kinds of names to belittle and minimize them and the movement. They even got other women to speak out against those leading and involved in the women's liberation movement. I was called those same names when I was emerging into a brand new world for women and marching with NOW in the early 70's. That is what they do, the deniers, the ones with commercial interest in the environment. I know everyone here knows this all too well. It's like you peddling to the U.N. in New York. <br /><br />These lyrics (though written about something other than the environment) come to mind and describe how I feel about my efforts to defend the environment. "I'd rather press on. I don't wanta rest easy. I will be with you right up until, the spell is broken and all is well." Canada's own Gordon Lightfoot. <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKjjVpZNvrs <br /><br />I'd rather press on<br />Is it my imagination or is it my iron pride<br />I wonder if it matters much if time is on my side<br />I'd rather press on, I don't wanta rest easy<br />Anywhere I stray, I will make it a brand new day<br /><br />Anyway, that is all I've gotta say<br />I'd rather be by the seaside<br />Than be playing a one night stand<br />I've been too wrapped up in my own dreams<br /><br />I will change things if I can<br />I gotta press on, don't wanta rest easy<br />Wouldn't it feel fine to return to the women and the wine<br />And all of the sunshine that we knew<br /><br />You will never know what blue is<br />Until you have played the game<br />Till you live life in solitaire where<br />No one knows your name<br /><br />I'd rather press on, I don't want to rest easy<br />Have it anyway you will<br />I will be with you right up until<br />The spell is broken and all is well<br /><br />If you'd rather be by the seashore<br />Well, I sure can understand<br />Are you too wrapped up in your own scene<br />I would change things if I can<br /><br />I'd rather press on, don't want to rest easy<br />Wouldn't it feel fine<br />But remembering the rhythm and the rhymes<br />And all of the good times makes me blue<br /><br />Wouldn't it feel fine to return to the women and the wine<br />And all of the sunshine that we knew<br />Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353098535307566034noreply@blogger.com
