"But it's more likely to make a difference than by sitting on my ass at home complaining. "

hey! that's one of my many hobbies!

" My tax dollars pay for that public park, and the right to assemble still exists even in Chicago, does it not? "

I dunno, is ol' Mayor Daley still around?

*money is not speech* puts it very well ! !

You must understand, the police must move them out now - no money in the budget to watch what *the people* might do in the park, all hours of the day ! Draconian policy is all blamed on budget cutting - the key to a conservative future. The policies that caused the problem - are proposed as the solution. Criticize Obama for not being able to fix things quickly enough - as they hamstring his efforts - every step of the way. Millions are permanently excluded from "their American dream". I guess we have the freedom that we demand - no demand and freedoms disappear.

Oh the people love to use that V mask...Guy Fawkes.

I've stood locally with Occupy CoMo (Columbia, MO). We're small, but persistent and being heard. We've been round-the-clock occupying the plaza in front of City Hall, and I have to say, the police have been great. No hassles, and they have made it clear that we have a right to protest there and if anyone hassles us we should not respond to them, but instead call 9-1-1 and they will be there right away to preserve our rights. Nice to see this attitude! Glad you're a part of the 99%!!

Thank you dear. You are awesome I had a great day!

I am blown away by your photography, BTW. Wow!

Good job.

at least it will get people thinking!

Any more thoughts on Opeth's latest, now that it's been out a while?

It really grew on me. I went from liking one song and thinking one other was alright to loving several and only disliking one. (That one is Famine. With the flute. Just doesn't work for me.)
