OCCUPYWALLSTREET REINFORCEMENTS!

[Bob]

Given all the hoopla over the new lottery, let's send a message to 'the man' that we're not going to take it-- excessive consumerism is against playa ideals, so why not "Occupy Black Rock City?" Stage a massive sit-in on the access road demanding our rights! Corporate greed rules BMORG. Power to the people! Let the BM elites know we 99% are fed up!

that will show 'em...

Here you go.

[cowboyangel]

yes, dear, i'm sure you're right .....

Are the two of you going to get to gather and make babies some time this year

I really like littleflower. It's just her political views that drive me up a wall, probably because everything she seems to believe is diametrically opposed to her own best interest and she just doesn't seem to realize it. That's why we have never discussed politics in person.[/quote]

LF has a mini- Michele Bachman living inside her head. LF you need to visit http://truth-out.org more often and stop gurgling down Foc Fux whatever and Trojan Horse NPR. It's all about information.

[littleflower]

oh dear me .....

JK and cowboy .... do you have any idea how many facts are out there? how very large the world is? how many different ways there are to look at things? this isn't a question of facts vs. non-facts, it's a question of philosophy. and i don't care that you disagree with me. my biggest problem is with the polarization, anger, and lack of discussion among people who are interested in politics. little squabbles about facts are *ridiculous*.

my influences are all over the place. the most educated and successful people i know are very conservative. don't throw your little websites at me and expect me to change.

I DO NOT WATCH FOX NEWS. jeez .... i use a TV antenna, and fox news is on cable .... and i rarely watch the idiot box anyhow. how many times have i said this? i decided long ago that broadcast news of any sort was ridiculous, focusing on controversy more than anything else. the dumbing down of america. and i will NEVER expect journalists to be any less biased than anyone else. people are biased .... if you think otherwise, you are a fool.

[Bob]

I wonder if this is how GAs work.

[theCryptofishist]

...so why not "Occupy Black Rock City?"

Mostly because it's been said so many times that it's gotten totally boring.

Let's burn something!

Speaking from personal experience, 150 large ain't rich. Doesn't suck, but rich? Far from it.

[littleflower]

150K buys a lot more in some places than it does in others.

[Dr. Pyro]

Like, oh I don't know, Idaho perhaps?

[littleflower]

yeah! although ... i wouldn't know, i refuse to work that hard!

Always depends on where you are spending it, baby.

Oops, missed.

Here's an excellent piece by Cornell West from KPFA today. He speaks to the problems taken up by OWS with an interesting perspective

Execution by truck
an uncensored site
http://www.bestgore.com/road-accidents/ ... hed-truck/

"As Chinese economy grows, so does the demand for lucrative land. As a result, some villagers found themselves forcibly removed from the lands off which their families lived for generations. Activists who side with such villagers and voice against government officials who seize their property often without compensation are seen as unwanted elements and are faced with wrath of the government’s dogs.

Qian Yunhui from the Zhejiang province in eastern China was one of such political activists. He fought on behalf of oppressed villagers for whom he was the only sign of hope. Then one day he received a phone call asking him to attend a meeting in which rights of the villagers would be discussed. Qian Yunhui left to attend that meeting only to be discovered an hour later crushed under a wheel of a large truck owned by Yueqing Electric Power Plant.

Qian Yunhui had been in jail three times for his ongoing demands to compensate villagers for their seized lands. Eye witnesses who claim they were there when the accident took place also ended up in jail. According to their statements, 4 uniformed man struck Qian Yunhui and held him down so truck driver could run over him. The government later released a statement that death of Qian Yunhui was a result of normal traffic accident, claiming that he was struck by the truck trying to cross the road."


These things have happened here before and will again.

Somebody is obsessed by bodily functions.

[Sic Pup]

Nah, coincidence.

The pic has been burning a hole on the HD.

[cowboyangel]

That isn't me and at least the guy had the sense to crap on a NYPD police car!

[littleflower]

congratulations, cowboy! i bet you've always wanted to be person of the year.

i have never once listened to Sean Hannity, and don't even know what he looks like. why is it that you and JK always go to Fox news for your anti-conservative sources? there are others, you know. or maybe you don't.

[Ugly Dougly]

AM radio. Love it.

[FIGJAM]

Only "Coast to Coast".

[cowboyangel]

All your Civic Centers are belong to us. We will never go away. You will be assimilated.

Speaking for myself, the answer is that I don't. There are many other sources for real conservative/Republican news and view points. Unfortunately, it seems that most conservatives/Republicans don't seem to realize this.

badda bing badda bing......

Throw the bums out.
