7. I guess they are thinking fluffy like snowflakes. I say they are in for a surprise.
Cold weather is not going to cool people off about what has happened to them and is continuing to happen to them.

6. In a way, that's fair enough.

Perseverance will prove a lot to many. Probably that's always true of protests.

21. Nah, ship.
Saw it two weeks before I went to college. Was going to be a nuclear engineer. Thanks to AH things didn't work out as planned. My favorite film. I appreciate the use of AH humor whenever possible.

9. If it snows hard enough, they will build snow shelters
and spray them with water to cause them to ice.

Kind of hard to take those down.

11. An address
118A Fulton st #205
New York, NY, 10038

This goes to the Zuccotti park encampment in NYC. There are discussions taking place about distributing supplies from here to other locations, but if you want to make direct donations to another site you should research your options.

12. Well, it is certainly nice
of CNN to keep track of those rowdy OWSers. That is their sole aim for today. Hah!

18. Mosh!
All the people up top on the side and the middle
Come together lets all form and storm just a little
Just let it gradually build from the front to the back
All you can see is a sea of people some white and some black
Don't matter what color, all that matters we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause don't matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us they can't, we stronger now more than ever
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push, shove, mush, Fuck Bush, until they bring our troops home (c'mon!)

Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us
Mosh pits outside the oval office
Someone's tryin' tell us something,
Maybe this is God just sayin' we're responsible
For this monster, this coward,
That we have empowered
This is Bin Laden, look at his head noddin'
How could we allow something like this without pumping our fists
Now this is our final hour

19. Emphasis shouldn't be on tactics (I'm going to stay out here all day and night in frigid temps!)--
Edited on Sat Oct-29-11 12:16 PM by TwilightGardener
because then that becomes the focal point by which a protest will be deemed a success or failure. Emphasis should be on message and demands.
