George Lakoff | A Framing Memo for Occupy Wall Street
 
George Lakoff, Reader Supported News 
George Lakoff writes: "It seems to me that the OWS movement is moral in nature, that occupiers want the country to change its moral focus. It is easy to find useful policies; hundreds have been suggested. It is harder to find a moral focus and stick to it. If the movement is to frame itself, it should be on the basis of its moral focus, not a particular agenda or list of policy demands. If the moral focus of America changes, new people will be elected and the policies will follow. Without a change of moral focus, the conservative worldview that has brought us to the present disastrous and dangerous moment will continue to prevail."

JP Sottile writes: "And a generation of future soldiers who've cut their canines on one shockingly graphic war simulator after another. Just sitting there on a couch, pushing a button and killing one CGI enemy after another. Forget the push-ups, a ready-made army of push-button pilots awaits a near-future filled with ultra-quick assassinations, all-too-easy bombing runs and the ominous and omnipresent patrolling of the skies."

Amy Goodman | The Arc of the Moral Universe, From Memphis to Wall Street 
Amy Goodman, Truthdig 
Amy Goodman wites: "The national memorial to Martin Luther King Jr. was dedicated last Sunday. President Barack Obama said of Dr. King, 'If he were alive today, I believe he would remind us that the unemployed worker can rightly challenge the excesses of Wall Street without demonizing all who work there.' What Obama left unsaid is that King, were he alive, would most likely be protesting Obama administration policies."
