Doing what MLK wanted to do next...non-violent resistance to class segregation-

What MLK didn't have time to do...good for you OCCUPY!!

Stages of truth - ridicule, violent opposition, acceptance. Morally disrespectful- when the powerful treat the less powerful as if they were mere objects, eg rapist, molesters and slave master have this in common. I would point out the same type of people who are so violent in speech and deed (police, political machine appointed to protect the 1%) against the OWS Protest would be the same type of people who attacked/degraded the Vietnam War protestors, Birmingham (60's)Protestors and Suffragettes Protestors of the early 20th Century and would have probably beat the founding fathers of the american revolution= Freedom of Press, Speech and Association shall not be ABRIDGED!
