Sure does say a lot. Tells me they haven't been co-opted yet. Tells me Obama and his evil minions are having as hard a time hiting a moving target as the Repubs are. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, Randall.

To me, it just looks like people trashing our parks. Why don't they pick up after themselves? And they claim part of the movement is about the environment? I'm sure the New York winter will clear them out.

Is that really all you see? That makes me genuinely sad.

I understand that public safety, unhygienic living conditions, etc are a legitimate concern. Nevertheless, I'm surprised by the lengths to which the protesters have gone to keep the sites peaceful, non violent, and clean. They are picking up after themselves. No, it isn't deluxe accomadations out there. Nor should it be. Please remember that many of the protesters are sleeping at the camps, vs the weak kneed and media coddled Tea Party folk who went home to their warm beds every night. Perhaps we should laud these demonstrators for their commitment? It's cold out there, Randall. Two Denver protesters were recently hospitilized with hypothermia. And people say Americans are soft!

As for "our parks", Zuccotti park isn't "ours." It's owned by one of those friendly multinational parasites the occupiers are protesting. Check it out -

Fitting that the NYC protest be held there, I think. Because everyday more and more of "our" property is is being handed over to private corporations. Additionally, you might be interested to note that the Mayor's long term girlfriend is on Brookfield's BOD. But this is how the game is played, my friend.

A fine rule of thumb once upon a time in the 60s. Not sure it applies today. Maybe I'm biased? lol

T, wonderful to bump into you and hope to again soon. Stay strong and true, wandering star, wherever you wander off to.

yes zucotti park is private property. and yes the protesters clean up after themselves.

but you see, when journalists who try to actually cover the story ON SITE are arrested and beaten (one could say SYTEMATICALLY AND THROUGH ENTRAPMENT PRACTICES) how do you expect to get the story straight?

and how do you judge the protesters when on the spot reporting is punishable by said imprisonment and assault?

as for using the ballot as a weapon, i don't suppose you have heard that ballot-by-machine is a thoroughly UNtrustworthy way of making one's voice heard. a recent election - was it ohio? - was close and when the SAME MACHINES RECOUNTED they came up with a very different result.

Stressing myself out more than I should about it. & procrastinating too much as usual, now it's crunch time. ughhh! Nothing is ever good enough over here, never satisfied or confident enough. May be all the earth signs...

Hoping all is well w/ you too!

I hope you keep starting informative refreshing threads like this one.

are you sure you want your vote to be counted using the current system? are you sure it WILL be counted? this is PART of what needs to change, though i realize this is a RADICALLY LEFTIST DEMAND!

Huh? What?

Occupy L.A.: 30 tons of debris left behind at City Hall tent city.

Huh? What?

30 TONS of discarded debris ISN'T "trash"?

"Sanitation officials said Wednesday that they expect to haul away 30 tons of debris from the Occupy L.A. encampment —everything from clothing to heaps of garbage to oddball curiosities left behind by the protesters who lived at the City Hall tent city for two months.

Andrea Alarcon, president of the city Public Works board, said workers already have removed 25 tons of belongings from the City Hall park, all of it heading straight to a landfill.

Sanitation crews also have vacuumed up about 3,000 gallons of water that had washed into a catch basin in recent days and are testing it for hazardous materials, she said."

I made that statement in reference to Occupy Wall Street in New York, most specifically Zuccotti Park. The information in reference to Occupy LA is recent news.

WHAT A DUMP: The Sanitation Department’s Manhattan District Building overflows yesterday with mountains of debris left behind by Occupy Wall Street protesters in Zuccotti Park.

Conditions just ‘offal’

City sanitation workers yesterday were forced to pick through a filthy pile of property seized from Zuccotti Park including dirty hypodermic needles, moldy food and glass-littered, broken gadgets.

“I pick up garbage [for a living], and these were some of the worst smells I’ve ever experienced,’’ one worker grumbled to The Post.

About 150 trashmen stuffed the massive pile of soiled tents, old bikes and spoiling food into dump trucks — 26 loads in all — and hauled it to a West 57th Street Sanitation facility so that workers could begin sorting the personal goods from garbage.

Occupy Wall Street protesters with proper ID can go to the facility this morning to get back their property.

As 10 unlucky Sanitation workers sorted the trash from reclaimable goods, they steered clear of a sealed pickle bucket which they suspected was filled with human waste.

Among the trash were clothes, suitcases, papers, plywood, books, laptop computers, smeared peanut-butter jars, cables, wire and shoes.

Many items were damaged, such as a bent laptop and two busted guitars.

when one is dragged off by the hair, pepper sprayed and beaten to the ground before hitting the paddy wagon floor, it is unlikely that you will wipe up after yourself.

I repeat, unless you were THERE and snapped those shots for whatever news media organizations you're siting, I'm sticking to my original statement. I don't follow the mainstream news and I work for a news media organization. I can tell you first hand that the news media intentionally distorts the truth in favor of their own political and financial agendas. They may not tell you how to think but they do tell you what to think about. They are trying to SELL NEWS! And if they want to slander Occupy Wall Street through sensational journalism then they will because they can.
