3. Bravo. Just say NO! to fear mongers.
I was at that site three times for hours on end and the only issue was the porta-potties, for obvious reasons.

I'm very wary of large groups, being an extreme introvert, but #Occupy Los Angeles felt like HOME. I saw more than a few interesting things and chatted with folks with whom I shared a quick recognition of purpose and...just loving being with other people working on and for the same level.

It was Beautiful. It was recognition, intelligence, heart, compassion, inclusion, welcoming, understanding, supportive, reinforcing...all things pretty much missing most other places. As you imply, they do NOT want us to realize our strength in unity, our recognition of each other. They want us to go sit back down, alone, in front of a television (which they pretty much control).

No fear! Welcome the weak, the hurting, the hungry, the homeless, because they are us! (sidebar about the mayor and city taking money from homeless funds for their own purposes: I'll start an OP..)
