Ok. I'll just look forward to more teabaggings. Did you know we were able to defeat the Obama digital machine with smoke signals?

Good for you, I think Occupy is about a long term creation of a separate system that can endure the collapse of the current unsustainable sytem, so if you want to get involved in it then by all means.

I think a collapse is unavoidable as one the foundations of the Industrial revolution was long term employment, now in the age of Globalisation and Digitalisation long term employment is no longer guaranteed, this on it's own may have been no big deal. But it is, that is because the Housing market, the mechanism by which society supplies a fundamental human right is inherantly linked to long term employment, so there is fundamental contradiction occuring that cannot be sustained and Occupy is part of the response to this conundrum.

Well there very well may be a collapse, Europe is turning puke green as we speak, but I imagine the iphone fleabagging kids will starve to death whilst stroking their digital machines, while the teabaggers will grow food in their backfield and be the backbone for a new society.

But, we did warn you the STPN was going to backfire. We did warn you.

BTW, the fleabaggers are going to learn soon what they have a right to and what they don't. They will learn soon.

I completely agree about what is changing and what the world can go towards. But its opposition is a newer and more powerful, technologically enabled urge to control information. The Internet is open source, and the Internet is a multitude of electric eyes- sure, they are powered off- looking back at you from your laptop. It's CC cameras covering every square foot of any public and most private places. It's tracking software in your phone. The opposition is in many ways ahead of you in assimilating these changes. Don't get cocky, you haven't won anything yet.

GC, the anti-intellectuals have been protesting in vain against banks forever, to no avail.

I love it when the left expends massive amounts of energy on contests they have no chance of winning. This is like the best time possible for Laissez Faire.

I like how people are commenting on these things without even doing a google search before they comment.

The 'fleabaggers' marched on the Federal Reserve in cities across the nation in a synchronized event. One would know that if they did even the most cursory research.

I thought you said the cops are on your side.

Whoever brought mounted units into that is an idiot. That borders on reckless endangerment. They were betting a whole lot on those horses' composure. Mounted officers are not there to stare down people at contact range. The officer was concerned about someone petting his mount because it might have upset a large animal in close confines. The entire situation is upsetting the horse. You use horses in crowds only when you no longer care if they get upset, because they are being used to knock people over.

Stupid.
