Re: “Fight Club”
Thank you for this accurate profile of just one of the thousands of Virginia's Vagina Warriors.
"We have come too far, we won't turn round.
We'll flood the streets with justice.
We are freedom bound"
Next round is the election
Then we will show up in January as The Virginia General Assembly returns for a political rumble in RVa.

Just because it is a literary quote does not change the snarkiness. Either own your choices proudly, or make some different choices in the qualities YOU choose when you dialogue.

Re: “Blowin' in the Wind”
Style Weekly came the closest to a perfect story as I have seen in my 4 decades of activism. One small, and yet absolutely critical element, was a puzzle to the reporter who otherwise did a story worthy of Pulitzer Nomination.
WE HAVE NO LEADERS. PERIOD, not at all de facto..... IN FACT.
The OCCUPY MOVEMENT is a new leaderless MOVEMENT, and yet leads with an organic process which discusses, threshes, strategizes, and decides by consensus, and finally moves as one organism. We are an Amoeba, ever changing and shifting, in a world filled with a variety of fixed laws, processes, and manner of civic interactions. This existing fixedness is constantly refined, so that metaphorically we keep adding to the list of fixed shapes such square, round, star, trapezoid, crescent, and even parallelogram shapes which then interface with all manner of societal slots, pigeonholes, nooks, and crannies .
Grasp this, and you really have the unique essence of OCCUPY.
The role which you observed me filling in service to OCCUPY RICHMOND is just an example of just this. Puzzled you were, for sure. It has not existed previously. Who knew this could work? Thanks for trying to describe us.
De Facto surely has been around before, but not here...
