10. How is it going? I haven't made it downtown yet. tell us about the LA occupation,

please! (LA DUer)

11. I plan to write a more extensive OP on this tomorrow (after I get some

sleep). For now, I will say that what these folks are doing at Los Angeles' City Hall is breathtaking in its scope and ambition. Tonight, I attended my first-ever committee meeting (pretty much as a silent, ad hoc observer) and General Assembly (again as an observer). I voted in my first election in 1980 (casting a vote proudly for Jimmy Carter) and it's been downhill ever since. I never thought I would see this in my lifetime and it's incredibly moving.

They even have valet parking :)



It is simultaneously exhilarating and frustrating, simultaneously hilarious and deadly serious. I hope you get a chance to get down there soon.

13. Only in LA! Valet Parking!!!

That is hysterical!
GREAT looking fur friend!
Please do give us a report!!!
I've got a bum ankle right now and am totally
dependent on the net for news.
Thank goodness for DU and other sites!

20. i promise to. I think there is a PDLA event there this week, wed or thurs.

[BeHereNow]

12. Hey you!

:hi:
I want to go SOOO bad!
Tore a ligament in my ankle...
Trying to heal- or I would meet you there,
or we could go together from my place.
It only takes about ten minutes from my place.
Just so frustrating not to be able to walk!!!

Thank goodness for the "Internets."
At least I can watch from the bed.

19. Get better!!! They will be there for a long time, and I would love to go with you!!!

[BeHereNow]

21. Cui Bono will be back in a month-

We are going to go for Veggie Tacos when she returns,
so maybe we could all go together!

[robinlynne]

[coalition_unwilling]

16. I just published a blog entry about it:

http://ayearatvenicebeach.blogspot.com/2011/10/reflections-on-occupy-los-angeles.html

I don't know if I should also do this as an OP or not.

Any suggestions?

[BeHereNow]

22. ABSOLUTELY! Post it as a thread!

Great writing, do share it on it's own thread with the DU community!

I have been a long time fan of direct democracy.
Clearly our "representative" based democracy has failed- big time.

14. A baby had one in his wagon that said something like, the banksters' pants are fuller than my diaper

I also still like the one that says "Tax princesses!"
