OCCUPY WALL STREET

[Kätzchen]

I just want to say that I am learning so much from all of you.
Thank you for your thoughtful posts,
your ability to offer criticism in ways that is productive
and keeps to its own organic process - which- to me,
is highly characteristic of what successful campaigns for
social change is all about.

I liked Theo's post - I've been watching this guy for awhile on Youtube.
He's got such a way with illustrating priniciple in action and the thought process behind certain agenda and messages we get from them (those who facilitate and aspects of gatekeeping and the forms these particular strategies take).

Miss Tick expressed the idea that if certain politics monopolize (could we say it's oligarchy? yes, maybe, no?) and materialize we will all be sharing in the sorrow of what seats of entitlement, consumer based behaviors have wrought upon the environment (literally and metaphorically).
The perfect storm, the trifecta.

Are people listening?

I propose the other side (any side, really) is listening.

The hyper-acuteness of the OWS message is something worth more than just advocating massive change in our fiscal and financial sectors. It's about a change of heart toward ourselves, others and sentient beings who have no voice, but depend on us to be and act mercifully in our use and touch upon each and every aspect of relationships we have, personally and communally, socially. And that's just it. Being socially responsible. Reduce our global footprint in terms of improving the natural resources we have by being faithful stewards of our environment.

I'm inspired by the participation in this thread and the many various perspective and informed people in our membership.

K, I'm gonna go back to reading,

PS/ AZ, any person who uses a corollary involving Clint Eastwood has my attention.
