Please - PLEASE - have a look at Dennis Kuchinich's well-developed and brilliant proposal for a Department of Peace, which would transform society at all levels if implemented: http://kucinich.house.gov/Issues/Issue/?IssueID=1564 "The mission of the Department shall: hold peace as an organizing principle; endeavor to promote justice and democratic principles to expand human rights; strengthen nonmilitary means of peacemaking; promote the development of human potential; work to create peace, prevent violence, divert from armed conflict and develop new structures in nonviolent dispute resolution; and take a proactive, strategic approach in the development of policies that promote national and international conflict prevention, nonviolent intervention, mediation, peaceful resolution of conflict and structured mediation of conflict." THINK ABOUT IT... This would be a wonderful plank in any platform you hammer out going forward. THANKS!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

How?

Please tell me how a bunch of people in a tiny park in NYC who can't pay their Student Loans, will break down the largest and most powerful Military in the history of the world.

Seriously, I'd love to hear the plan.

Do you mean getting rid of all those UNION jobs.?

Those same unions that want OWS to keep doing what it is doing so more government can be forced down all of our throats?

I am all for getting rid of the unions, but think they would kick the ass of any OWS that interfered with their employment.
