in some of the countries, particularly Iceland. We did not know of the one day strike by the Icelandic women that brought everything to a halt. Protesting is fine, but it needs to express power. My wife brought up that American women in the past brought expressed their power, Getting the vote for women was one such action. I love this picture from "Women's Day Off," Iceland has never been the same since and the changes are for the better. Take a page from Lysistrata or the modern version by Spike Lee, Chi-Raq.

Dolmedes: Lysistrata had them all take a solemn oath: "Stop the murder madness or there will be no more po." That's right, you get none.

Lysistrata: Repeat after me: I will deny all rights of access or entrance.
