    Ever since Occupy Boston got shut down (and rightfully so), they've spread out to other towns in Mass, where I'm sure they'll die a rather quick death, possibly by hypothermia.

    Obviously I support the idea that the rich and powerful have fucked us over, but we've done a good job at allowing them to... I mean most of the "99%" are equally greedy... they're just less successful at it! In Massachusetts, we just opened the door for casinos.... Democracy let this happen. So I'm fucking done with democracy.... if only intelligent people with good hearts were allowed to vote, I'd change my mind, but the masses are asses, so to hell with them!

    Look at these fools shouting down Newt Gingrich in Iowa with their dumbass 'mic check' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqWUaRRIb8Y - they make Newt and his supporters seem classy by comparison - wow!

    Nearly *half* of Americans in poverty. Wow. BBC News - Cornel West: Occupy movement is a critique of oligarchy

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16210940

    I love Cornel. He and Tavis started their Poverty Tour in my hometown. I keep their pictures on my laptop out of pride.

    Happy Holidays to everyone - keep the discussion going.

    Green Disease:

    It's a disease,... and they're all green
    It emminates from their being
    Agitation,.. with occupation

    And like weeds,.. with big leaves
    Stealing light from what's beneath
    Where they have more,...
    Still they take more

    Course I know,.. then I don't
    There's a stoway with my throat
    It's deceiving
    I don't believe him

    We can scream,.. out our doors
    Behind the wall a fat man snores
    In his dreams he's,...
    Choking on leaves

    Well I guess
    There's nothing wrong with what you say
    Believe me
    Just asking you to sway
    No white
    Or black
    Just grey
    Can you feel this,..
    World with your heart and not your brain?

    If you're up for some post-marxist neo-nihilist pseudo-gonzo revivalist ramblings... I produced this last night: http://socyberty.com/politics/enough-ti ... -movement/ ("Enough Time Has Been Occupied on the Occupy Movement"). It's just like my ramblings here on AMT, except surrounded by advertising.

    Today, I finished my Xmas shopping at Target, so I'm hypocrite in my condemnation of the global marketplace, if it is a condemnation. Perhaps it's an acceptance. Whatever the larger point in this article is, I just know that the Occupy movement is soooooo Fall of 2011. Curious to see what the next revolution fad will be :P

    Thats great. Start thinking these things as "15 minutes of Fame" because it happened to the Green movement too.

    When I see the words "Eco Chic" it make me want to barf. Thats the mentality of someone who follows Kim Kardashian or something. Make it pop culture cool for 15 minutes and then throw it away.

    I beleive that the only way things will truly change is to moblize and have massive boycotts. I think if folks really want to get the attention of corporations and the financial sector boycott their services and products. Are folks tired of the way Big Banks operate, close your account and take it to a small local bank. Just my idea. I still beleive that the people in a democracy hold the power.

    Yes, but the people are too dumb and lazy.
