It's great to live in a country with a Constitution that protects our rights and freedoms. But hey, wait a minute, it turns out that the U. S. Constitution only protects the rights of some people -- men.
America's 162 million women, 51 percent of the population, are not entitled to equal rights. Women are second-class citizens. And the Equal Rights Amendment (so-called ERA) that would correct that cruel inequity has been awaiting ratification for decades.
In case you've forgotten: The drive to approve the amendment began a hundred years ago while the 19th Amendment (votes for women) was passing. Suffragist Alice Paul thought more was needed to achieve equality. She and Crystal Eastman of the National Women's Party authored the ERA and managed to get it introduced to Congress in 1923.

Why call disasters a perfect storm?
Every year Ballard Senior Center somehow plugs its funding holes, and actual facility holes, while counting on its Annual “Spring for Seniors” Auction as its largest fundraiser. There couldn’t have been a worse time to have their computer network system hijacked and held for ransom one month beforehand.
The snowstorms of February were not helpful either. February is when volunteers solicit and gather donated items, sell event tickets, use the newsletter to build up the event. So when their computer system was completely disappeared during the snow events it exemplified the term perfect storm, as in a convergence of disastrous events.
