Occupier Jesse LaGreca to get his own show produced by OWS.

3. I find that dead plants have physical substance that lends weight to ideas + tradition

Is there any chance that, with the tech resources at Occupy's disposal thanks to all the techies involved, we could start a distributed printing network as a collectively managed co-op or some-such, to produce some of these papers? Folks could go online and decide which ones they wanted to subscribe to and be delivered locally by local printing affiliates. You could model it after the old, small-distributor bottling business. I was talking to an Occupy screen printer about having a similar model for t-shirts and posters as well.

Note that dead plants don't have to mean dead trees -- as lots of lefties probably know, William Randolph Hearst inadvertently killed the newspaper business AND kicked off the drug war about a hundred years ago when he got the booming new business of hemp paper manufacturing declared illegal in order to protect his monopoly on Michigan wood pulp. Hemp paper is now legal again for import from Canada and eco-friendly (not because it's crunchy and hip, but because it literally makes morse sense than any other source of material for paper).
