13. THIS

is what America looks like.

Whatever is going on in Oakland is not any America I want to be part of. The cops in Oakland are a criminal element preying on peaceful Americans to get their violent jollies and to show their Masters that they can be mindless thugs.

What a contrast.

They Should "Enlighten" Their Colleagues about what the 1% plan to do with their pension plans (before they'll finish pocketing them all).

27. Now. that is the way ''to protect and serve......''

The revolution will not be shown on television. Nothing will be on television... or if anything is, no one will notice.

The revolution will not provide you with political clout, a luxury car or designer antidepressants. It will render such things superfluous.

The revolution will not help your build muscle mass or tone your flabby thighs. It will make it possible for you to feel beautiful in your body, not because of it.

The revolution will not put the right people in control of the government or impose limits on the conduct of corporations. It will abolish control, government, limits, corporations.

The revolution will not give you superhuman powers of creativity, audacity, or conflict resolution. It will push aside the obstacles that inhibit you from exercising the power you already have.

The revolution will not put an end to violence, struggle or interpersonal strife. It will offer you the chance to fight for your own interests, for once, and let the chips fall where they may.

The revolution will not just put all genders, ethnicities, and nationalities on equal footing - it will dissolve the borders that distinguish them.

The revolution will not make you self-sufficient. It will equip you to take care of others, and others to take care of you.

The revolution will not provide you with the man or woman of your dreams. It will bring out the unique beauty of the ones already around you.

The revolution might not always feed or house or heal you, but hunger and thirst and cold and even sickness will trouble you a lot less.

The revolution will not mean you finally get what you deserve. It will give you treasures no one could ever deserve, just as it will sometimes hurt with a pain nothing in your life has warranted.

The revolution will not be simple or clean or easy. It will help you to find meaning in difficult things, to be courageous in facing complexities and contradictions, to get your hands dirty and like it.

The revolution is not going to happen tomorrow -- it's never going to happen. It's taking place right now. It is an alternate universe that runs parallel to this one, waiting for you to switch sides.

http://www.thenewstribune.com/2011/10/28/1884115/100-tent-occupy-olympia-has-become.html

Mary Spokane, another camp resident, told the Olympia City Council on Tuesday that the state agreeing to open restrooms 24 hours a day “is what attracted many homeless to our camp.” She estimated 50 homeless people have come in.

The campers drew support from the Olympia City Council.
“I agree completely with what you’re doing,” Councilwoman Rhenda Strub said.
“I hope that you’re treated gently and if the day should come that you’re not, I would be on your side.”
Councilman Karen Rogers said, “I’m a populist, so of course I’m for this, a redistribution of wealth.”
Kelly said the group isn’t going anywhere, and he doesn’t know when the encampment will end.
“We’re changing the conversation,” he said. “We’re pulling the conversation back where it belongs.”
