My 18 year old son asked---Hey Dad, will you do "Occupy Orlando" with me on Saturday?

[trumad]

Caught me by surprise. He said many of his friends are going and it's big deal on their Facebooks.

I'll be there.

1. A nice family affair... I like...

[lunatica]

2. How great is that!

Normally 18 year old children aren't into hanging out with their dad. Congratulation. You're making family history because your son will never forget his Dad going to Occupy Orlando with him.

3. yeah---again I was surprised.

The kids is quickly evolving into a lovely Liberal and is clearly existing in a fact based world.

My advice to him has always been to peel back the onion to seek the truth. Don't be a surface observer of politics and never ever be a Ditto Head.

6. My advice to mine

was to give him the advice that if he was interested in a subject to become an expert in it. To be the go to person.

12. K&R

Glad to hear it. I suspect that for every body in the street, there are many more who would march, but whose personal situation is too precarious to take time off and join the protests in person.

The Youth has awakened....gives me goosebumps!!!! Tell your son and his friends to be brave and realize life isn't about $$$.
