I am just curious...I am involved in Occupy Seattle which I do understand is controversial. I am proud to say ours is the 5th largest occupation in America. It's nice to see that the average American CAN make a difference. My questions to you are: What difference would you like to see in American politics / government? The banking industry? Wall Street? Education?

Codify micro-secession into law, end the Federal Reserve, scrap every law and department that is not specifically named in the Constitution.

My idea is simple..

Move all liberals/progressives to Canada.

Let them have their centralized government and free healthcare..

Let them regulate the f**k out of business and allow the entire workforce to belong to unions.

We will institute a limited government/totally free market system.

We will follow Ludwig von Mises Austrian economic approach.

After 50 years we will see who is better off..

So we protest banks, corporate greed and inequality by picketing what? A child care facility? A vacant lot? Maybe your house?

You steal from me and what... I yell at you?

The reason the protesters are there is because NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE THROUGH OR BY THE PEOPLE WE HIRED TO PROTECT US AGAINST SUCH THINGS!

Some freedoms require a direct approach and a little sacrifice to avoid revolution!


So you admit that the problem is "THE PEOPLE WE HIRED TO PROTECT US"? Then protest politicians, go to their offices! Go to DC, but don't shut down businesses. It's LEGAL to protest politicians, it's NOT LEGAL to defecate in the street and close down businesses.


OK..... so we protest where they can apply the Patriot Act, proclaim everyone as "TERRORISTS" and can mass murder everyone without FEAR of prosecution instead of arresting them....! GOOD PLAN!
I agree with Spider, even if forwhatever odd reasons they decided to take the approach you outline, it would be the worst thing they could do.

The real reason many of us moderates on both side are not taking a more active role is becuase the elite have played the benign neglect political card, do not too much harm, do not show off the unreasonable power, and make everyone think you are there to help serve and protect.

If they really arrested hundreds of protesters under the patriot act and murdered them as terrorists it would cause such stir to shatter the smoke and mirrors.

That is not what the political elite want. They want us to argue amongst ourselves and take the heat off them.

I think the idea of the occupy movement was good, the execution idiotic.

You have to put the pressure on the politicians, not the businesses.
