Real Time OWS Info.
If anyone is interested, this is the OWS/Global Revolution live video feed site. It's not always live, but the chat is always live and real time. Lots of information scrolls buy, but be a fast reader at times.

Intersting stuff at times.

I gotta admit, I thought it was neat at first. Maybe something good will come of it. But I'm a little disappointed. It is starting to look like their detractors are right on some points. They sure don't seem well organized. I sent a note to the local group. Police kicked them out of the park here in Denver and they rolled over. Thing is, there is a legal case to be made that they have a right to be in the park. If they're practicing civil disobedience, then they shouldn't be too worked up about getting arrested. How can they make their case if they never go to court? So their will doesn't seem to be as strong as I hoped either. Kind of a Civil obedience thing. Not sure how much will come of that. And I guess the park was kind of a bio-hazzard when they went in to clean up.

Are you calling Leftyism a religion?

Some of us feel that overworking and underpaying people is a form of violence. A favourite tactic of some righties.

Hey, check out the Flea Baggers in Chicago.
Looks like Mayor Emanuel has had enough of them too.

Rahm's on board. He knows that arrests get the movement more publicity. Fifteen hundred people involved in the protest, but the arrests got the reporters on it. Well done, Rahm.
