3. well, maybe because we already marched

on take back the night all across our country. were you there? your are right on & i hope you will use your passion and righteous indignation to organize a march of solidarity for the rape somewhere near you or all across the nation.

but, at this time, i think many rape survivors, such as myself, have other things on our minds. 1) i have to dig out from the snow but the snow shovel broke and i don't have money to go get another one; 2) worried about keeping a roof over our heads; 3) and some food on the table and; 4) where to scrounge some money for an rx copay... 5) oh, and the car is over due for an oil change and; 6)there isn't enough to pay the $40 to get the snow tires put on.

and lots of other things going on across our nation right now that have our attention. survival type things.
