SOUTH NEWFANE — I just want to thank Anna Mullany for her excellent response.
A country that ignores its faults allows those crimes to perpetuate insidiously.
As a woman I can only contain my rage for so long. We just pretend that women are equal. Women are on their own fighting for their rights, which are falling by the wayside every day.
Where are the good brothers, fathers and sons? I'm tired of waiting for permission for my rights from the white male patriarchy.

BRATTLEBORO-Edge No. CLX is a great painting. It hangs on a wall next to a staircase in a house in West Brattleboro, although it is finer than a Rothko. The glistening whites, shades of blue and black, and the densely textured surface made by using a trowel and mixing acrylic paint with wood chips form a densely textured surface that radiates vitality.
