May 2

I listened to the "occupation" a number of years ago in NYC and thought, "What the hell? Somebody with a megaphone says what others magnify, and they mindlessly repeat what they're told to say?" It's rather like, "Here's what to think and say, turn off your bright--you're smarter than thinking--and repeat after me. Blah-Blah... Blah-Blah."

I was seriously waiting for them to be programmed, line by line, to sing-song along, "Ramma lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong ... Ramma lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong... Chang chang, changity chang shoo bop ... Dip da dip da dip do wop di dooby do ... A-boogy boogy boogy boogy shooby do wop she bop ... Chang chang, changity chang shoo bop ... We'll always be like one .. Wa-wa-wa the one!"

But what they chanted in their responsories wasn't nearly that original or entertaining or meaningful. Except to the pious zealots.
