One good sign: when he was about 5, he ran up to a couple on the street and told them that "George Bush takes toys from poor children and gives them to rich children!!!". We all got a good laugh.

But as Manny said, you must be so proud to have raised such a GOOD person! His heart is in the right place and he's walkin' his talk!

How is he???

and I am outraged that they are treating your son and other protesters like that. Please tell him that so many of us are grateful to him and OWS for fighting the good fight for all of us. I have been following OWS from the beginning and they give me hope that real change is possible. Hope he is okay and has a speedy recovery.

I'm still trying to figure out why NYPD was snatching seemingly random people.

I doubt I would submit to the retina scan as well.
