Excerpt from the link
"Noam Chomsky says the Occupy movement has helped rebuild class solidarity and communities of mutual support on a level unseen since the time of the Great Depression. "The Occupy movement spontaneously created something that doesn’t really exist in the country: communities of mutual support, cooperation, open spaces for discussion ... just people doing things and helping each other," Chomsky says. "That’s very much missing. There is a massive propaganda—it’s been going on for a century, but picking up enormously—that you really shouldn’t care about anyone else, you should just care about yourself. ... To rebuild [class solidarity], even if it’s in small pieces of the society, can become very important, can change the conception of how a society ought to function." Chomsky also gives his assessment of President Obama, whom he says has attacked civil liberties in a way that has "gone beyond [George W.] Bush.""

It got posted at about the same time as the last major attack on the Forum. Probably got missed in all the chaos.

Yeah - remember - that was when I complained like a little baby to the forum and got the collapse comment feature turned off?
But - wait a sec. - no - you were not here for that one. Hmmm . . so easy to lose track of time.

Yeah - we have had quite the roller coaster ride on the forum - good to have you back.
Anyway - I have to take off for awhile - My Nephews last day in town.
Keep an eye on things. {:-])

It is a regular space on mine though your gotcha comment(?) has about 5 inches of space between the top where your name is and the bottom where gotcha is just above the buttons line. I notice that this site will do some odd spacings - some times will post a comment twice - little odd things.
