Occupying vs. Tea Partying
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

I guess you can get so far with betting on folks being to stupid to see through your crap — but there are limits.
How many of these folks even realize who the 1% is? They likely figure their all stock brokers, millionaire industrialists, etc. Really its the folks who gross more then $340,000. I.E. those who owners of the local fast food places and gas stations – not the big company folks of McDonnell, but the guy who owns the one on the corner. The family farmer. Private doctor or dentist. Whoever runs your corner restaurant or small store. Even newage trinket and organic food stores
And these Occupy folks are attacking them.
A couple of weeks ago the local paper of record ran an editorial suggesting the local chapter of OWS go home. This week the New York Times ran a similar editorial. It’s past time for OWS to emulate one of their favorite sons and MoveOn.
Yeah a few assaults, rapes, and just smelling up the place, and folks stop caring what “statement” your trying to make.
Course some towns can’t get a lot of OWS protesters.

I witnessed the OWS protest in front of the Chase Bank in Colville,WA last Saturday. It was peaceful until someone showed up with hot coffee. At that point, civility was stretched. The two dozen people there leapt towards the coffee and consumed it unceremoniously.
It’s that lack of discipline that could doom this movement.
