Oh thanks for that. Now I know clearly where you stand, to the left of center.
I'm in the UK so no I do not shop at Walmart - although they do own Asda here - but I don't shop there either. I do shop at the local fruit shop/butcher/baker and farm shop though. Try it sometime....you'll save your economy.
So you never shop at Wal Mart? Then where? The Dollar Store?

And what's wrong with left of centre anyway...I thought McCarthyism had been left way behind...yeah..I'm for decent wages, decent employment rights, family time, decent housing, taking care of the less well off. Not letting the citizenry be robbed by city slicker roulette players. What are you for?

Christina, I'll take that as a compliment, the simple fact is that the powers that be have left people who really care about some cause or other with no other option but to protest in a manner which may ultimately lead to violence, it is part of the social engineering by the powers that be.. I can only speak for the UK but here it doesn't matter who you vote for or how peaceful your demos are, even if hundreds of thousands of people turn up like in the anti-Iraq war demo, The popular opinion is ignored and so the recipe is sowed for violence, which will escalate and give the governments reason to impose martial law, curfews and the like in preparation for something bigger like WW3 - think about it.

That's exactly what someone wanting this to fail or go away would say.
That's exactly what someone too paranoid to ever want to make a difference in this world would believe.
That's exactly what will be the final nail in all our coffins.
Will some people try to co-op this? Criticize without really understanding? Sure. But the reality is they can't.

The origin of the occupywallstreet protests is an article on adbusters.com, investigate that site. How many times does it have to be posted that anonymous is not even a group, anybody that can use their video software can make it look like anonymous has an operation and the facebook attack is not a widely accepted op, simply because it would be too hard to do. Plus, facebook is a huge resource for spreading info for anonymous, they wouldn't take it down. People need to understand the idea of anonymous more clearly.

and how does the revolution start?
martial law.
Revolutions can be tricky, like what we've seen in Libya, where it eventually turned out it was a giant scam by Al CIAda; Gadaffi did nothing wrong, but news from film studios and fake Twitter/YouTube Accounts/Stories were used against him and to make him look bad.

Let's worry about our country first, and then we can worry about the UN, where after all we still have a vote. Who we put in there TO vote might matter more. And if this oligarchical trend continues, that won't be who we want there voting for us, eh?
