NP - OWS is Winning

[Ian Livingston]

Peace, then. I agree to disagree moderately and politely.

The times are indeed scary, and exciting. The way the world does
business must change, and soon--but how far the pendulum swings will
determine how we survive, or how far we fall, in the course of the
changes that come.

"Less than any man have I  excuse for prejudice; and I feel for all
creeds the warm sympathy of one who has come to learn that even the
trust in reason is a precarious faith, and that we are all fragments
of darkness groping for the sun. I know no more about the ultimates
than the simplest urchin in the streets." -- Will Durant
