Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Nevertheless, she persisted.  Good for Elizabeth Warren.  She had the right to speak, and she used it until she was silenced by the patriarchy.  But that act of McConnell's will haunt him and other Republicans.  Not that they have a conscience, but it will cause others to see what silencing means.  Rape victims are refusing to be silenced at Baylor.  All around us people are speaking out against the Muslim ban, against fracking and racist tactics by police.  A lot of voices are raised right now.  And they will be heard.  The tipping points have been reached.  We want fairness, justice and a congress that speaks for the people who elected them, not the donors and lobbyists.  We will speak out and change this terrible course, as we did in the sixties.  Just ordinary people, finding their hearts in their mouths and speaking truth against all the lies and avoidance and subterfuge.  I believe it.
