Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.
A right delayed is a right denied.
Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

I have another
reception coming up next Tuesday, “Making Women Visible Reception” for the
Permanent Commission on the Status of Women. The commission is a legislative commission to…
“…work to eliminate sex discrimination in Connecticut. They are to inform leaders about the nature and scope of discrimination, to serve as a liaison between government and private interest groups concerned with services for women, to promote consideration of women for governmental positions, and to work with state agencies to access programs and practices as they affect women.”
They have been a tremendous supporter of the gender inclusive Anti-Discrimination legislation; lobbying and testifying on behave for the bill. By attending the reception, I think that it is a nice way our gratitude.
