A Couple Of More Stories From Occupy Sacramento...
I neglected to mention that I met a guy wearing a TYT T-Shirt at Occupy Sacramento, and I Said "Hey, TYT Army!!!" He smiled and we chatted for a while. Point being... there are sub-tribes within the tribes. And I told him I was WillyT on both DU and TYT, and we laughed and talked about the upcoming Current TV inauguration of TYT, as well as the fact that Cenk will be dong TYT from OcuppyWallStreet next week live.

Next time I go to Occupy Sacramento, I'll plaster one of my DU bumperstickers on my shirt so I might meet the many Sac DUers that are politically involved. Who knows how many I walked by without knowing.

Second semi-hilarious point...

There was a group of young people with their young children, almost all of them toddlers. And toddlers being toddlers, there was some serious screeching going on, LOL.

One kid was wailing because he didn't want to be fed at that particular moment, he wanted to play. A mom had picked up a big plastic bubble making frame, and was blowing bubbles to distract/calm down their kids, when one little girl asked to give it a try. No sooner had she blown her first bubbles then a third toddler came swooping though, grabbed the plastic bubble making frame, and ran toward the bongo yoga class... his father in hot pursuit.

After dad had apprehended his offspring, he slowly march him back, insisting the kid politely hand back the magic wand. The kid would have none of it, and when released from parental custody, after having the prized possession removed from his hand and given back to the little girl...

He went into a weeping, sobbing jag, and then went walking over EVERY PROTEST POSTER he could find...

And we are all smiling, supportive, and understanding until one of the parents, chagrined, says...

"Well... there's the fight with Wall Steet in a nutshell."

We all fell out laughing and applauding.

:D

:hi:

He'll be searching for that applause for the rest of his life and get himself into trouble with the establishment forever.

Congratulations! You've birthed a rebel for life.
