gift giving is to ingrained in us, i think.
spin it with the notion of giving crappy little gifts that people wouldn't actually want, but eventually will treasure.
maybe a 'made in the USA' spin, to boot? (this would almost guarantee homemade, anyways!  :lol:) it would dovetail with the patriotic aspect...

Just so I can get you saying it on the record, you think OWS will still be protesting in the way it is now in three months, that the three parties involved (OWS, cops, gvt) will find the status quo of sleeping in the park, et al, acceptable?


Because NYC isn't letting the tents back in.

I'm not the one trying to predict the end of OWS. Don't try to foist your OWS eschatology onto me.

You also haven't answered the question of whether you've been to an encampment and talked with people.

I see... So you don't want to answer my question, but instead expect me to accept a change of focus in my inquiries to appeal to your own narrative.


Gentlemen, GENTLEMEN.. please!  This is excellent intellectual jockeying, but it misses entirely the fundamental question most important to our freedom and future.

Occupy Christmas.  I love it.

I've already seen this running around facebook actually.  Posters that say If you really want to bring the banks down give homemade gifts or buy from local crafters.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Merely by being alive, you make everyone just a little more miserable

Didn't you hear about small business Saturday?
Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

Who hasn't heard about it? That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about economic warfare; holding the entire economy hostage by refusing to buy anything that's imported or mass-produced. Where do you think most small businesses get their merchandise?

"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."

Irony alert, via the BBC

QuoteThe protest, on Friday, was in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

It was intended to show solidarity with protesters at another branch of the Univeristy of California, in Berkeley, who were hit with batons by police on 9 November.

Also, quickest way in the world to start a riot, that.  Which is probably why it was done.  Once people are rioting, you have every excuse in the world to go in, beat the crap out people and disperse them.
