I skipped the protests today to go to work because our bonus checks arrived! I paid off my mastercard and put a down payment on a lease for a Prius! Very green, right?! See everyone on Saturday!

It's good to read about someone else contributing positively to society. Since OWS started, via the equity markets, my family's net wealth has increased +$80,000; on which we paid taxes and allowed us to contribute more to a local food drive. It'a amazing what can be accomplished we you get off your ass & contribute.

Glad to hear that one of us has a job. Glad to hear that this hasn't stopped you from being sympathetic to those that don't.

You cannot be green in a system based on profit. It's all about waste. The more you consume the better the economy. In order to be green in a capitalist system, you must constantly be in a depression. Capitalism has no correlation whatsoever with the natural world. It is merely a life-long game of monopoly. If you really want to see a green world, you should advocate a Global Resource-Based Economy, a system based on natural resources and not profit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PIMy0QBSQWo

I'm here to kick knowledge, not make enemies. There's no need for name calling my friend. BTW, Money Kills.

That's why the countries with money have longer life expectancy. Because the money kills. That's why they die so late....cause the money is just killin them.

Exactly, 20,000+ children die everyday of starvation and preventable diseases, because they lack money. How do you solve that problem in capitalism?

I like how you repeated your statement twice, but the second time you used one sentence instead of two. I'm wondering if it would be possible to repeat it a third time in a clause.
