Unions did it too, occupying factories so replacements couldn't get in. Didn't generally end well.

Oh, it did. I'm just saying the cops, etc. didn't respond in a kindly fashion.

I learned that at my grandfather's knee.

But his generation could take it, why not ours?

Although Occupy Portland has brought about one particularly welcome change:

Rats have always been a huge problem downtown, and of course anyplace humans congregate outdoors with food is going to attract them.

Ah hA the tail of 2 Sit E's
so yeah i remember the Rat Tail | i was years ago |
i was still picking b Berries along the Rail Road tracks
East bank | i had crossed the Steel (upper level}
there was no rail trail back in those days
a strange Mustard Yellow ship was tied to the grain
Elevators. When i got down on the RR tracks ||
they cross the river on the lower level of the Steel Bridge
i could see the (Um} mustard tied at the elevator
there was no rat guard on the bow line { very strange
as i walked along the RR track to get to the BB bushes
there were rats along the way. Strange Rats. rather
small and as if the were strangers to the place
Slow moving Kind of like in a drugged state.
for some reason i have always assumed since that day
that they were cargo off of that ship  & bad news . EoT  :fnord:

Drugged rats, maybe poisoned but resisting it.

Portland sounds like a very cosmopolitan place for rats. No inbreeding.

Super rats could be the wave of the future.

I liked the San Francisco wharf rats. They were huge and tame and we fed them sourdough bread.
