And small cities too.
"For more than a week, anyone passing by Columbia’s City Hall might have noticed demonstrators, ranging from a single person to more than 50 people, chanting and waving signs.

The largest group came last night to speak out on a specific local issue, but a minority of those participating have had a presence there night and day for eight full days. Those demonstrators are the members of a group known as Occupy Como.

The protests are modeled after the significantly larger Occupy Wall Street, a protest movement against corporate greed that has raged in New York City for more than two weeks. Similar movements have sprung up in cities throughout the country, including in Missouri. Social networking websites have added fuel to the cause: Occupy Kansas City has more than 1,500 “likes” on its Facebook page, and OccupySTL has more than 3,000. Columbia’s has more than 1,000."

Doing our part to end the madness.

3. Occupy USC now has at least one part-time protestor, between classes.
People have been asking for months, is it time yet, is it time yet, and I always said no, not yet.

Well, now it's time.

To the barricades!!!
