OccupyWallStreet

[Ian Livingston]

First, I offer up a little Patti Smith for the masses:

Then, I'll offer up that at least one of my young acquaintances is
involved with Occupy California, an offspring, I guess of the Wall
Street movement. Here's their facebook page:

other Occupy groups in your area. Don't just admire the splinter in
the thumb, rub salt in behind it.

I have hope with these under 30s. There are a number of wide-awake
people among them. With the backing of a few of their elders, they are
becoming more outspoken and bolder as time goes on. I laud and support
them whole-heartedly, and I will soon be back in the world where I can
be a part of the action, so I can put my mug in the line, too. The
time for talk is nearly at an end. We have to act if we are going to
get our government involved in the change that must happen if we are
to regain (or establish) any dignity as a people. The Capitalist
Revolution of the 18th Century has run its course and its impetus must
be redirected. We can be a part of how that impetus gets directed. We
are not too old to act. So shut up, print your banners, and hit the
streets, and then speak up. Loudly.

The protests of the 60s and 70s were organized to a point and then
more people joined. The same has been true through the Arab Spring. It
was a minority that showed up with full cognizance of the importance
of being there, but without that minority, the majority would never
have dared it.

"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
