Occupy Oakland damages itself more than ports

100. Great post.

You make some points that I haven't seen spelled out yet in this battle about whose perspective will dominate, whose angle on what's going on will hold sway over the brainwaves of the great unwashed, and who will tell them what to do now that our Anglo-American Empire is beginning to implode into its own footprint.

As a side-note, it's interesting to see the divide getting bigger between people who are capable of holding many different perspectives, able to consider each of them to the point of understanding exactly where a proponent of that perspective is coming from, and people who are petulantly attached to one perspective only. Confined to a "one view only" view of the world, they essentially keep saying, "My view is the right way and therefore I am right!", which seems hilarious, of course, to the people who have a greater facility in seeing many angles on the same thing at once. Well, either hilarious or infuriating, and sometimes thoroughly deflating, depending on what day it is on this incredible roller-coaster ride into our future.
