To laughing Wall Streeters and Faux News

"Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do." Steve Jobs

There would BE no America without "crazy people".

1. We'd still be in the Dark Ages without 'crazy people' a.k.a. visionaries

who move things forward.

2. Just pure envy how much money did they have to sink into the tea party this one is free.

Like invoking the devil with suggestions that it was a grass roots movement now they have one on their doorstep. I doubt they are really laughing behind closed doors.

3. Impossible things are happening every day...

Impossible for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage
Impossible for a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage.
And four white mice will never be four white horses..

They will!!

Such fol-de rol and fiddle dee dee of courses
Impossible!

But the world is full of zanies and fools
Who don't believe in sensible rules
And won't believe what sensible people say

And because these daft and dewey eyed dopes keep building up impossible hopes
Impossible things are happening every day.

From Cinderella ~ Rodgers and Hammerstein

9. That made me smile. Brings back memories

My sister loved Cinderella and that version in particular WAy back in the day. Played it on her little plastic record player over and over. Hated it back then (lol) but it's kind of a bittersweet memory for me now.

Thanks! :hi:

I loved it when I was a kid too. Leslie Ann Warren was great... and The Prince ended up being Alan Quartermain on General Hospital... weirdness!

7. INVITATION TO WALL STREET -- for Saturday at 11 AM at Liberty Park @ Red Cube corner

Please assemble peacefully at 140 Broadway.

A company such as Apple or General Motors or the old Ben & Jerrys has a responsibility to act in a responsible manner. Profit is not bad, but adding social justice makes these organizations much better.

The companies of Financial Capitalism are different. The crimes of their employees are what produced the Great Recession of 2008 and massive unemployment. They also took trillions of dollars from retirement funds and from other small investors.

Prosecute Wall Street's criminals. Fraud is still fraud. Banking regulations cannot to cited to usurp the general protections of the Common Law.

No one ever thought of prosecuting Steve Job for anything. He was not a criminal. He was a good man. Steve Jobs would not have been a success on today's Wall Street. "We Are The 1%" was not his motto.

"Think different" about sums it up.

-- DU members are all invited to come to the Occupy Wall Street site on Saturday, October 8th at 11 AM

-- Please assemble peacefully at the Red Cube at 140 Broadway, at the corner of Broadway and Liberty Street

-- A speaker from OWS will greet everyone from DU. A statement of purpose and an invitation to support OWS will be presented.

That site can accommodate 250 DU members and their friends easily. As many as 1,000 extra people connected to DU can be accommodated directly with OWS plans for Saturday afternoon.



Freely exercise your freedom of speech and of the press; and the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Please, feel free to do all of this with Occupy Wall Street.

10. Welcome to DU!!!

:hi: And thanks for everything you guys are doing!!!

I personally cannot attend the the New York group... live WAY too far away, but plan to meet up with some in a nearby city this weekend.

Please keep us informed of these events as I know there are probably plenty of DUers in New York who will be attending.

11. Thank you.

Getting bloggers away from their computer screens is quite the challenge.

Anyone who comes Saturday will be welcome !

8. I know it was just an ad campaign but I love that quote -

and I don't hate Steve Jobs. I know many do, but I see the system as the problem rather than focusing on individuals. I may just have a soft spot for him because his birth mom was from Wisconsin (both parents UW Grads). He didn't grow up with a silver spoon ... I think that's why many can relate to him.
