| Bio: | oh. man. I never update this. I use livejournal as a procrastination tool/relic from high school .jpg) Yeah!: In parts of India's Uttar Pradesh state, according to a November BBC News dispatch, women are hopelessly oppressed by poverty, abusive husbands and corrupt officials, but two years ago, Ms. Sampat Pal Devi got fed up. She organized bands of vigilante women (with several hundred members), dressed in pink saris, to protect their sisters using both nonviolence (heaping public shame on wrongdoers) and violence (with axes and the traditional Indian stick, the "lathi"). Said Sampat Devi, "Village society in India ... refuses to educate (women), marries them off too early (age 9, in her case), barters them for money. Village women need to study and become independent to sort it out themselves." "Regarding the size of an economy, the basic alternative trends are growth, recession, and steady state. Because an economy may neither grow without limit nor recede into negative production, only a steady state economy is sustainable in the long run." | |||||
