paradoxx
I wonder if there is corralation between these three women and the three women (as well as other female deitis) that are depicted in various seals of the united staes. They remind me of Lady Liberty, Lady Justice and Lady Equality (of Wyoming) by how they are standing and holding their respective cups. considering that the figure that has its back turned to us is not nessacarly a woman that relates to justice, i see liberty to the left and equalty to the right. i say that the one figure can be a male by looking where his/her left hand is positioned. It is this placing that i believe relates to justce and liberty, 1. since justice is not always female and 2. that Justice and Liberty were present in the seals long before Equality.
Even in the Universal WAite the arm in question does look out of place, and since justice and equality are related in the law system this relation of symbols starts to make sense. I don't know if the symbolisim was deliberate (given teh origin of these cards it wouldn't suprise me) but it attributes itself very well.
ok i've ranted enough on a confusing topic long enough. i'll shut up now.
