Fire Walk With Me

7. I'm aware of only two Paulites in #Occupy LA and they weren't there that night.

(The night this was read, and was the first time I'd heard it.)

And I hear this message as a call to unify against a greater problem, of money and the monied corrupting politics. This is a large part of the message of #Occupy. There are good Dems and there are bad Dems. Let's get rid of the bad dems and hold the good dems to do the will of the people. I do not see this as demoralizing at all, I see it as insight and perspective, and we are ready now to say NO! to this sort of domination. We are resisting it now. Look at Wisconsin. Look at what #Occupy is doing.

I suppose there are those who may conclude that #Occupy is attempting to dissuade people from voting. I find that questionable. I have never heard that either stated or implied, even with the charge that everyone in DC should be fired. It all goes back to the will of the people, and are those in "representative" office actually doing the will of the people or are they simply sucking up PAC monies and looking for cushy private-sector careers after they leave office? This is about the will of the people re-establishing itself, and demanding that the country's systems respond to its citizenry. I see a great love of America, and a willingness to bring the corrupt system to its knees if need be.

That may frighten some. I say what is frightening, is to willfully continue on the course we saw pre-#Occupy. And these unconfirmed bankers' words are truths.
