Today, at 9:00 a.m., protesters are going to gather in downtown Minneapolis in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street Movement.
And I just wanted to say that I agree with a lot of what you have to say, in terms of frustration with inequality in our society and uncertainty about the future. I hope it stays nonviolent, and civil, and that the protest goes well.
I first met the Occupy LA group downtown Los Angeles about two weeks ago. There were about two dozen of them, and they looked lonely. I wondered if they were crazy or a fringe group.
I got their fiyer, and I agreed with what they were saying. However, they had six things or so they were protesting, each one listed as their “One Demand”. It didn’t add up.
They seem to have gotten a little more organized, and have gotten support from LA City Council members and union groups.
