My niece posted on her facebook page that she was at occupy wall street.
I assumed since she lives in Rochester she went to a thing there. Nope. Went to NYC. She slept in the park and everything. Can't wait to see some of her pictures as she is an awesome photographer. I posted that I was so proud of her for going. Wish I could be there. Heck, wish I could be at one here. I don't trust my kids, honestly, to behave.

I hope this can last. It really needs to. I just got my issue of Time and the cover says 'the return of the silent majority'. Haven't read it yet. I hesitate because I know the hit job the MSM is trying to do. Between that and the increasing effort to squelch it I worry. Although, it seems the more they try to squelch it the bigger it gets.

2. Good for her. Hope you get some good photos to post here
She was there on a historic weekend. Wish I could have been there also.

3. What a cool surprise for you!
When young people like her are heading for the front lines, why worry? And it is getting bigger.

It might be a good plan to go there, unruly kids and all.

4. fantastic!
my daughter is starting to wake up and asking me questions. She may go with me to a GA to see what it is like too. It is good to see them wanting to be involved.
