I just viewed some images from the ‘clean-up’ of Occupy Wall Street. Why is it that humans cannot meet, communicate, and resolve differences without resorting to violence? I assume other cities will be watching the outcome of this particular solution to the Occupy problem and will soon follow suit (I’m waiting for the shoe to drop in Vancouver). I hope there is not an escalation of violent confrontation.

I’ve heard many opinions of the Occupy protests, but the one I appreciate the most is pay attention to the message, not the tactics.

I am convinced that there is enough wealth in the world to solve many of humanity’s problems, and the inequity in the distribution of wealth is something that must be addressed. A small percentage of the planet’s population controls the majority of the money (hence, power): the 99% movement is about positive social change.

I admit that I’m a dreamer, but it would be far more pleasant if the people who shaped our world were less concerned with economic growth and more concerned with social consciousness…
