31. Get Over Yourself...
Tue Jun 26, 2012, 07:06 AM
Jun 2012

Yes, I've seen your posts and this is the first I've responded to...and for a good reason.

Firstly...you don't know SQUAT as to who I am or what I've done over my over 50 years on this planet and thus all your projection is wasted electrons. Let's try to stick to a topic rather than go ad hominem ok??

Who gives you the right to call someone a "Chickenshit"...and fellow liberals and progressives at that who don't feel the "occupy" movement has accomplished a thing. Believe as you wish but don't dare dismiss those of us who have had our own experiences with civil rights movements, anti-war movements and other forms of political and civil disobedience with your "holier than thou" attitude. Dude...you didn't invent the sit down protest...and I'm still waiting for tangible results. Other than blaming black bloc for this and and the police for that. Which corporate have you brought down?

I wanted to believe that the "occupy" movement had some substance. I went to see for myself...several times...and came away with the impression of people with plenty of passion and little direction. Sorry...I'll let my work within the system bring results rather than stand around and yell at people and hope they listen. They aren't.

Best of luck chasing your windmills...
