    Signs of the Time - Occupy Miami

    I heard on the news tonight that occupations happened all over the world today. We also had an event here in Miami. Hundreds of ppl showed up at the Torch of Friendship at 1:15 PM, then at 3 PM walked to a rally at the government center.

    Here are some pics.

    Just an update (tho no one on this board seems interested in this worldwide uprising against the exploitation of the 99% by the 1%)

    On the Hip Forum where the activists are more vocal, there is a report that they are camped out in London (same as in NY). Of course this weekend there were the more passionate violent confrontations in some parts of Europe.

    Of the 1K that formed the rally in Miami, about a hundred camped out at the Gov't Center Saturday night and were there on Sunday. I haven't heard if they are still there this workday or if the cops are harassing them (Homeless ppl usually try to stay in that area of downtown). If they are still camping in Miami they are dedicated ppl because we are in a tropical weather pattern and it rained all night and will continue for the next couple of days.

    It is good to see young ppl getting motivated behind a cause. We had ours when we were young, racism, homophobia, the evil war of our design. Now as the economy is collapsing and the 1% of extremely rich are getting richer on the backs of the 99%, young ppl have a cause to get involved in something. (Especially seeing what the ppl did in Egypt and are still doing in Libya - toppling old style regimes with an unorganized mass with the common objective of ENUF ALREADY!

    Who knows where this will end? Maybe not a direct cause of anything but indirectly the masses are sending a message that we are fed up with the exploitation.

    You shouldn't be so patronizing with your second chances. And I don't know what happened to the rest of my post, but I commented on this earlier. I support what they're doing on Wall Street. How confident I am that some serious social change with this sit ins will come about, I don't know, because here.....it's already being used as an excuse to make unnecessary cutbacks. In any case, I don't see the harm in it at all.

    Yeah, it is sort of a throwback to some of the events of my youth, maybe about as effective as a smoke-in, which may not have directly caused any serious social changes but put the thot out there. It is not organized - just a spontaneous pouring out of frustration and anger at the way things have been going.


    Actually, my last time in that park at another rally in March of 2003 protesting the impending war in Iraq. You know how effective that was. blank stare @ you

    I just found a pic of another sign.

    This one wasn't from Miami, it was from far far away.

    Shale, it is a tad unfair to bill a lack of response as a lack of interest. Posters here tend to steer clear of some topics and that is fine. Not everyone seeks to speak up about things online.

    I just found this on another site - from one of our most outspoken entertainer/philosophers.

    It almost sounds like he is part of this current Occupy movement, but just a harbinger. You can read it at full size.

    Occupy is a hoot to watch. It's gonna collapse under it's own uselessness before too long, but in the mean time, it's funny. We gotta have "Occupy Hollywood" next to protest all the uber-rich celebrities. big grin

    yay
    I just won $20! I bet another Chamber member that there would be some impotent, untenable response.

    Oops. Maybe the leaders of the greedy Occupy Movement will try to take it away and redistribute it!
