femminista: thoughts of a feminist rhetorician

Last night, in the dark, by candlelight, on an emergency weather radio, I listened to the VP debates. I take my civic responsibility seriously and felt that it was evidenced by the lengths that I went to so that I might hear the debates. Today, on NPR's "The Story", I learned what true devotion to civic responsibility really is. A woman with terminal cancer told Dick Gordon, host of "The Story," that she was holding on long enough to vote. She's hoping that she lives long enough to vote one last time. That, folks, is true dedication.
