customer base. I recall that you were concerned with Four Seasons diners getting some sort of trouble and that did not manifest. Frankly, you do not understand OWS. The election is a game in town, not the only one. Think it through. When both Parties oppose my equal rights, and I still need to support one of them, another way of expressing political will has to exist, it will spring up to fill the gap left by two Parties too close in policy on many issues. If you want to see Party politics popular again, address that crap. "Marriage is Sanctified" No, it is not. When some politician tells you that you should laugh in his face. Not mollycoddle that nastiness. If you want us all to play in the Party, the rhetoric of elimination and discrimination has to stop.
I note that the same crowd that calls for OWS to present perfected plans for progress also ironically accept that Obama needs to take lots of time to get around to maybe supporting equality again. Yes, when my rights are the issue, it is 'progress is always slow and change takes time' yet for OWS, it is ' they had 3 months, why is it they did not change the whole world yet'? Sort of inconsistent metrics. Naff, selfish, inconsistent metrics.
Let me know when you barricade the Pool Room for the final stand! So amusing, really.
Centrists are standing there, right next to Newt, saying 'Sacrament' and you expect me to stand with that? No thanks. When pigs fly.
