In Action

So I'm flipping channels tonight, and I come across the E TV True Hollywood Story about Jenna Jameson. I was trying to decide if I'd seen it before ....

Then, Tammy Bruce's uptight ass comes on my screen.  And I remember that yes.  I had seen this. 

I am even less impressed with Bruce than I was 6 years ago.

But never mind that.  I've already written about that.

It got me thinking about how much of an activist I used to be.  Pro-choice issues, sex worker issues, pornography issues,  women's rights and feminism.  I was the president of my local chapter of NOW for 2 years in Illinois.  I volunteered at a family planning clinic that performed abortions.  I am still a member of NARAL.  These issues remain important to me, but I no longer actively participate in their support.

Maybe I should.  Maybe not to the extent that I used to be, but maybe a little more than writing checks like I do now.

Any action -- even writing checks -- is better than nothing.

But I strive to be better than better than nothing.
