Maybe the people can wiki a legislative process on an ad hoc basis. Then the representatives can take the product to Washington and battle out the logistics which, if they don't determine content and agenda, will be a much simplified process.

each bridge in its own time, as far as im concerned acknowledging difference and starting from the bottom with the few things a magority actually does agree on is an excellent response to the current status quo... it has potential.

it would have struck me as koombaya if they were saying they did all agree and had common vision for the response.

another interesting aspect of this is how much ron paul is showing up in lefty media as a reference point, he seems to be gaining real ground outside the gop as a coherant vision for social libertarian economic conservative viewpoints (which is where i sit on the radar)

hot diggity dog navel gazin in a navel gazin venue.

so what was your point exactly ?

best i can construe is that they should wait for some knight in shining armour to make the badness go away for them rather than think about the structural conditions that left em were they are now.

I'm impressed at the legs this has had. I thought it was a marginal hippie thing at first (it kind of was) but now there seems to be a serious movement in the offing. Seems like democratic socialism might actually re-enter the American political discourse as a legitimate position, as it exists in every other Western nation.




Caught Jon Stewart's show last night and they were mocking Fox coverage of these protests compared to their coverage of Tea Party rallies. Nothing everybody doesn't already know but good for a laugh.

Actually the hippies got in early, but they were not the organizers. Some people who came up from the civil rights era were the originators.

The idea that Australian education is not user pay's is bullshit, I'm paying 23000 for an Accounting degree.

A lot of people go to University for half arsed reasons, thus they end up with half arsed results.

i learnt bean counting online.

lol

I'm doing this online, which makes it even more of a rip.

I want that bit of paper as I have no qualifications and no experience of significant employment, over 25 years, lol.

While some may see this as half arsed, I'm enjoying it so far and can turn it into a skill that is significant, essentially nullifying the relevance of the piece of paper.

My friend was doing much of the coverage for Al Jazeera.

Last night, I had a very good meeting with some Brooklyn people that I think is going to lead to something serious.
