Well... Not here in America. To all involved in Occupy, I salute you, true patriots one and all.

1. Talking about Occupy L.A.? You could be more specific. It's hard to keep track of it all.

The occupiers seem very concerned, but I haven't seen a police push yet. I haven't been watching the whole thing though, by any means.

edit: 2 more live streaming channels

2. I'm talking about all of it
I'm talking about it from it's start right up until tonight and into the future (as I do not see it ending soon). I honestly did not think America had it in her any more.

8. I hope being Raped by Wall St's Robber Barons can Unify the Country
They have practiced the Politics of Divisiveness for too long

11. We were there. the same people over and over. This is a new movement.
It is full of youth, full of all kinds of people. from all walks of life. It is bigger, not in numbers, but in purpose. It is not only about one specific part of the problem. It is speaking about the problem itself.

I think this movement is the real thing. People are clearly understanding that the environment, labor, hunger, inequity, money in politics, war are all one issue.
People are coming together. this is different.

13. I thought they were great
I wish they had been bigger (not that they were anything like MSM portrayed them). I don't think anyone can deny that the scope and scale do not compare. I think a lot less people are being fooled by MSM now so are coming out.
