To occupy or not to occupy, that is the question

A movement that represents 99% of the population has to have a big, big, big tent over its head and cannot present a threat to the very 99% that it stands for. So, I agree with those posting on this thread. There are different aspects to the Occupy movement.

It joins those of us whose idea of political action is talking to voters, our families, neighbors and friends as well as those of us who can build small but sustainable communities and post the information on the internet.

It joins all kinds of movements from Move-On to Rebuild the American Dream to a number of other groups.

Occupy has already worked a miracle just in getting the real issues on the mastheads of a few newspapers across the country even if only for a brief time. That is amazing.

Thanks to the Occupiers. I will never forget the feeling of solidarity when the police first went to evict the Portland Occupiers. Thousands of people just showed up to demonstrate their appreciate for the courage and nonviolence of the Occupiers. That's what it is about -- the 99%, unity, courage and nonviolence.
