The Preacher - by Peter Barnes articulates why we Occupy. "It is the last sermon of Mad Jacques Rioux, an active participant in the French Revolution." It is sad how the rich are still oppressing the poor, but this gives us articulation and inspiration.
Yes, feel inspired to move to France. As a bonus, I hear they don't mind if you shit in their parks.
Holy shit! I can't believe in all this time I forgot about this! Your post popped it into my head:
"Bastille Day" 1975
There's no bread, let them eat cake There's no end to what they'll take Flaunt the fruits of noble birth Wash the salt into the earth
But they're marching to Bastille Day La guillotine will claim her bloody prize Free the dungeons of the innocent The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise
Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace Naked fear on every face See them bow their heads to die As we would bow as they rode by
And we're marching to Bastille Day La guillotine will claim her bloody prize Sing, oh choirs of cacophony The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise
Lessons taught but never learned All around us anger burns Guide the future by the past Long ago the mould was cast
For they marched up to Bastille Day La guillotine claimed her bloody prize Hear the echoes of the centuries Power isn't all that money buys
cool! who wrote this? It's soooo apropos!!!
And what happened after they stormed the Bastille?
We have the keys to throw this corrupt Congress out right now!
Storm the Bastille and hold public citizen's arrest, and public trial covered by live feed and twitter.
Occupy the SEC! Congress is Illegally Insider Trading, but SEC Is too Busy Cracking Down on Kettle Chips http://occupywallst.org/forum/occupy-the-sec-congress-is-illegally-insider-tradi/
