Great article.
Great Post! I hope the police and firefighters understand the pro-union dimension of this movement. They (I mean the police) might take another attitude if they did.
Well, I think the cops had some serious misconceptions about OWS. They never seen something like an "occupy" movement, and the "anarchism" aspect is also something that they're likely unfamiliar with. The connotation of the word anarchy is not good (in common parlance), and most people aren't intellectuals who read guys like Chomskey (and OWS probably threatened many peoples commonly held notions).
It's all good, last fall was the first run for OWS, and so far so good (I mean, I'm sure it's been successful beyond anyone's wildest dreams). There's a learning curve for everything, and I have to assume this is no different. So 2012 is gonna be beautiful, I have every confidence.
Hahaha! Yeah, most people aren't intellectuals who read "Chomskey".
I think if someone is taking the time to learn about the views of guys like Chomskey (doesn't have to be Chomskey in particular), then they probably at least have a healthy dose of intellectual curiosity (a good thing).
Priceless.
You have the intellect of a gnat. What the hell are you talking about?
Now log out and log back in as one of your other alts so I can watch Richard verbally beat your ass real quick.
Maybe I should go read Chomskey.
Isn't this where you get classy and start hurling f-bombs and make disgusting sexual remarks or is this a different GirlFriday?
WooooHoooo. Isn't this fun, Fucktwit?
It IS you!
:D
Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
Isn't this what you wanted?
Not nearly as volatile tonight though, I bet you're tweaking your dosages, am I right?
You'er here to disrupt. I just want to help you. :D
Once again (and if I had a nickel for every time I've said it), I'm not here to disrupt at all. I'm here for the entertainment.
Sure you are. I'm just helping you. Isn't this fun?

Hey that is why you came here isn't it? Pat yourself on the back and move-the-fuck-along.
Still can't get enough, huh?
[Removed]
You definitely got your meds tweaked. You seem rational, or at least civil.
I have no intention of being civil to you or your other ID's. Get used to it. I'm just giving you what you came for.
Yes, government unions are great. Government unions can be relentless advocates for a bigger government and tax increases simply because members work there. Government workers can vote for more compliant bosses that decide their pay and benefits.
It's truly fantastic, except for one thing: government workers aren't sticking it to the man, they're sticking it to their neighbors that just don't happen to work for government. Just a little detail that escapes pro-union liberals.
Good article. Thanks GF.
may our nation come back to life
dont re-elect 0bama and it will.
Agreed.

No, not really. You fucking douche bag. :D
OWS scares the crap out of scabs.
If OWS scares scabs, it also scares 99% of the adult U.S. population. Violence and anarchy have a way of doing that. That's why we will fail, we are too damn scary
What rump did you pull out that number of? What and who do you mean by we? The only thing that is "scary" is the status quo. Violence has been commited to the movement not by the movement.
I'm for improving the image of OWS, but denial isn't going to help. OWS has the image of being violent, not accross the board, but look at Oakland, SF, NYC with attacks on the Police not by the Police.
You are not for but against. And you do not speak the truth.
Good
Yes it is very Good.And we love it.
The Year Dissent Came Back and Then Went Back Home Because the Cops Showed Up and "Hey, I'll Camp for Social Change but I'm Not Taking a Baton to the Head"
The year the hippies came back.
You are many years out of date. :D
You are. If you had any perspective, thinking about the hippies and then thinking about OWS would at least give you a laugh.
I do have perspective, sweet pea. It still stands. You are many years out of date.
Hardly. The year dissent came back? The year the socialists saw an opportunity. The year the whiners come out and bitched. The year the poor decisions got blamed on someone else. The year the socialist entitlement states in Europe cracked. Maybe these, but definitely not yours.
the year folks learned that banks approved loans and gave money to people who didn't have enough money to buy shit.
Ah, another one here for adversity.You may pick your little one of the above and we can address it. Or you can continue to whine, but you will do so solo.
PTI folks, but I don't think speaking out was ever passe OR en vogue. "Bitching and whining" are here to stay. They're what moves the world. For what it's worth, I began protesting back in the early 1970s and never stopped. Hippie? You betcha! The status quo just ain't for me, you see!
Peace!
the tea party started their protests in 2009
Fuck the tea party.
the level of your intelligence is pretty low.
Why are you angry, did someone drop a deuce in your pie there, dicknose?
gurlie , aka the sewer, backs up again.
This is what you came for, sugar. I wouldn't want you to be disappointed.
gurlie= the poster child for rotor rooter
Beat it
Or what, sweet pea? Whatcha gonna do?
fuck the libtards

Fuck the tea party.
All lies and distorted mis-information from an obama loving primate.
oh, hey, Check this: CBS reported this evening -
we all know how accurate CBS is
who owns them again?
I saw that.
It is all about: Now that we have your attention.
I think if they started destabilizing the crust of the earth beneath my feet I would be getting their attention . . .
hehe
Welcome back.
Thanks. :D
I notice that the MSM cannot continue to ignore this. Wonder if it started nailing their houses yet. I also have to wonder just how this will impact insurance companies under acts of god.
I'm sure the insurance industry will find a way to slide out from under any way they can.
Yep. I also notice that in some areas the Real Estate agents are not happy with the contamination etc. that surrounds those areas.
I'm sure they aren't. They weren't happy with the banking regs having gotten watered down either.
there was a national retailers association running ads begging for stronger measures from Congress.
All of this hurts their industry.
Nobody is except for the big multinational banks. It blows my mind the number of industries and more specifically local small to medium businesses that were harmed through out this.
throw in the rising cost of fuel - and how that percolates throughout the economy driving up the prices of everything -
and Goldman Sux I've found is invested in the fossil fuel industry - I'll bet all of them are.
for now.
Yep. Not good.
Quite an article. I believe as long as we can reach out to each other in common good cause, that we will continue to grow and we will make a difference for the good of our country for the good of our people. All of our people.
I agree. I thought it was a beautiful article and a good reminder in the face of all of this opposition that nobody has forgotten about OWS.
You know, this site has a lot more people looking to work together than it might seem. It is just with all of the attackers that it can seem to be more hostile than it really is. ( if that makes any sense )
But I believe that because we are making progress, that that is the reason attacks are being engineered to look like disunity.
Anyway, we move on.
Forward environmental change.

Occupy & 99% not interested? I would think you would all be here and checking it out. This is a good article.
Where are you people?
Only 8 comments prior to this one.
Again - Quite an article.
Quite an article. I believe as long as we can reach out to each other in common good cause, that we will continue to grow and we will make a difference for the good of our country for the good of our people. All of our people.
We should all reach out to other organizations that share some or all of our common concerns, like the Sierra Club, the Independent movement, the Green movement, AARP, Etc. etc.
Add a group that you are aware of. Lets become aware of each other and of each-others common interests/issues. Combining we grow incredibly huge and powerful.
Let the "People" unite.
Help the "People" unite.
