    Anyone been watching or joining the movement?
    I sent in a contribution to www.wearethe99percent.tumblr.com, joined a credit union, and am in the process of dropping Bank of Amerikkka.

    What do you think? feel?

    There was a really great thread going on it but looks like it got locked due to a rodent problem.

    I don't know if I will be able to occupy indefinitely, but I will be in Toronto on Oct 15 for the Occupy TSE event start.

    I am so happy that this has finally started, we will be having Day of Rage protest in Buffalo NY starting Saturday Oct. 8. We will also attempt an occupation, but that needs further discussion about weather, who can occupy, where, and so on. But at least the wheels are in motion and people are starting to come together. I urge anyone reading this to become involved if not in NYC or Washington then look for protests in your local area. Dont be silenced anymore!

    It got closed because apparently you're not supposed to have a difference of opinion. But that's OK, I am used to it.

    I quit the big bank thing years ago when Chase to over my little bank. If you don't have a lot of money it makes no sense at all to be in a big bank.

    But the Canadian demonstration on October 15th will be organized distinct "pp" I think that's what the initials stood for. That is PP for "public propaganda".

    Personaly, I think it represents one of the best chances, we the people, have of making changes that significantly better our lives.

    Will it succeed? No clue, but considering the alternatives, it is the only thing going on that has a chance.

    As for those who are determined to sidetrack the issues with their pettiness... There are always those that support the powers that be over their fellow man. In general, it is because they fear that the scraps that get dropped from the table for them are better then anything they could do on their own.

    I don't think we should speculate and make guesses about why the other thread was closed.

    Does anyone have a direct answer from Skip on that?

    There is no need to fill threads with mudslinging and sophomoric attitudes.

    Gonna close this as too much of the discussion is about things other than the OP and discussing moderating is NOT encouraged. Questions about moderating are best posed through PM.

    The topic can be restarted- please stick with the topic. Thank you and peace.
