Way back in 1985 my Mom and I read "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood
It blew our minds and we still discuss that novel as the decades passed, realizing just how something so horrible could happen, here, in the United States... even back in 1985.
2016... The outcome of the the presidential election shocked us and everyday since, barbarity, brutality, and evil radiate out of Washington...
Atrocities against women and children are occurring throughout the world in countries rich and poor... we see the images, we watch the videos, we listen to eye witness accounts.
The reality of "The Handmaid's Tale" is closer than any of us want to believe. Wealthy men controlling Governments... making laws that control a woman's body... it's happening...
I just finished watching both seasons of "The Handmaid's Tale" TV Series... every episode is filled with horror... The extent of heinous acts that are done by people with the best of intentions and praising their actions in the name of religion is a RED flag to us all.
We need to wake up.
