The "Occupy Wall Street" movement is quintessentially American...

The New Sheriff has arrived in town... watch out!

I hear his name is: "WE THE PEOPLE".

Human beings are not inherently greedy.

Human beings are a product of their environment.

Human beings reflect their environment.

The human race is suffering from a value system disorder.

We, as a society cannot seem to denote wrong from right.

This must change.

The world must evolve.

The government must evolve.

The economic system must evolve.

Peace, Love, and Unity.

  1. End the Federal Reserve Board.
  2. Hold a recall election with campaign finance reform.
  3. Enforce a limit to lobbying campaigns
  4. Develop a sustainable economy.

Thank you for your wisdom!

I agree: "Human beings are NOT inherently greedy" Pathological obsession with money or possessions is generally linked to childhood wounding. Money is a substitute for love... and a pretty miserable one at that, because you will always want MORE! MORE! MORE!

I know It sounds trite and cliché, but it's T R U E : LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED!

I never had a car or a home of my own... and the FREEDOM I gained from that simple life has been amazing.

When I take off on my bike, I'm in heaven! I'm sure the "1%" would envy my happiness.

"May all beings be happy and at their ease!" The Buddha.

Yes! Let us wish ALL our "1%" brothers and sisters happiness and ease, because that will FREE their hearts from fear, greed and attachment and open them to the joy of compassion and sharing.

And then there will be only... the 100%.
