Mother Revolution

"I've thought about this a lot since I had my daughter and what I find really disturbing about this global war, is you don't see any of the world leaders sending their children to be butchered. It's always someone else's children, someone else's blood. In 'Mother Revolution' the woman realises she cannot fight the patriarchy in the way that they fight and she can't just turn her back either. In order to be effective she has to come up with a new solution. And sometimes the best solution isn't to throw a bomb at a balloon, it's to pop the balloon with a kitty heel!"

"One thing that gets underestimated are the moms in the world. And when the moms have had enough of their children dying for causes that they don't agree with - once they really understand that the causes aren't what they're told they are - then there is a revolution. But it happens internally first, and sometimes very quietly. It's not always with machetes and gunfire." [toriamos.com - March 1, 2005]
