Amanda,
Have never used Maya as a model. She was one of several
women I noticed who dared to endorse Hillary despite
the pressure many men gave into to change their stance, i.e.,
John Lewis.
Whoopi Goldberg, Maxine Waters, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones,
Judge Judy and other women I admire were pro-Hillary while
the MSNBC/WP/Newsweek smear took off and gagged me.
Maya stayed loyal until released by Hillary to support Obama
post his receiving 59 delegates via Michigan/DNC which so
surprised me as it effectively put him over the top count-wise.
Hillary had joshed about hoping the filly won. Her wearing
pants seems practical given the hours and how ankles swell
in the heat, as I've noticed of late..;> Obama adorers are
believers; I am not a believer, but prefer street savvy broads
with brains and backbone when I hire the competent vice
those with simple charisma. Able poets who recall wheelbarrows
may be succinct and dismissive of those of us who merely
witness and make notes. We who exchanged our lives for money
are careful about what we buy; we vote with our money; some
prefer the able to the ministers wowing crowds for presiding parts.
I do not want women to get rings and roses. I want them to rule.
Your exhortation was clever. If I were a poet, I'd see red...;>
