Summation
Plus a change, plus c'est la mme chose.
The Festival for Life.
Osage Avenue and Pine Street.
Greensboro massacre.
Bloody Christmas.
Orangeburg massacre.
Kent State.
Jackson State.
Joe Torres.
Birmingham ...
The battle today is no less serious, no less honorable than those we fought in the past; it is the continuing battle between the oppressed and the oppressors.
The costs will be high, but hopefully the world afterwards will be better.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Consensus Democracy
The Occupy Movement is about participatory democracy, with the occupy demonstrations behaving in a manner that we would like to see governments behave.
See What Are Consensus, Stack, Twinkle, And Block? for how this works.
The Occupy Movement is about changing government by peaceful evolution rather than by bloody revolution, showing that we do not need to resolve conflicts with violence.
The Occupy Movement is not about immediate goals\gratification, but about long term missions to encourage justice, equality, liberty, freedom, peace.
The Occupy Movement is about working within the system to make changes that improve government and social institutions.
We are the people, and we take to heart the opening mission statement of the constitution:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. "

Our goal is to improve the perfection of our various governments (local, state, federal), to reduce injustices everywhere, to increase domestic tranquility, and to provide for defense, general welfare and liberty for all of us and for our posterity, regardless of race, sexual orientation, cultural and social backgrounds.
In the 60's we saw the power of peaceful movements to change governments and move social behavior away from the bigotry of the past. Much still remains to be done, particularly in the area of economic injustice. It is done by working together, not by fighting.
Enjoy.
