Jobs not cuts!
Occupy K-Street etc.
Big Tent Technical Difficulties.**
[Are we ready for some football?] [!]***
[continued 10-4]I feel like I have broken something in recent days. Maybe my perspective. Maybe I need to change fields. The above lede is an example. Maybe I don't feel like occupying anything. I am encouraged by the generation of interest and a movement of the people. Maybe nailing down what that is is the problem. Someone from one of the groups at the conference expressed concern that they not be co-opted by unions or the Obama campaign. That seemed an interesting perspective, as if they are on the same page. And my* teaching to the test may be a root of the problem. Jon Stewart covers the "Occupy Wallstreet" scene, but after the break deals with the NRA and their "conspiracy" theories.
[Segue: I will break and post be4 I muck up more.]
Back from a tangent:
I will simply foot note.
(Thanks to the Thom Hartmann Chat)
* see the 10-3 Just to be clear... & its asterisk(1)
** This was originally the extent of my draft, normally I might insert some loose tangential links, but I am continuing on 10-4. Maybe I wanted to be point blank, or not follow things to a T. And maybe I have done just enough to change that course.
*** last insert
[Sorry for the anachronistic asterisks, but4 original-I-T[!] Not really...neither of these may the T-rigor for my thoughts. However under "these" lies a similar transmobrificationlation:
Back in 1787 when the Constitution was being worked out, conservatives pointed out that what John Adams called "the rabble" couldn't be trusted to elect representatives or - even more dangerously - become elected officials. As the father of modern conservative thought, Edmund Burke (1729-1797), famously noted: "The occupation of a hair-dresser, or of a tallowman [candle maker], cannot be a matter of honor to any person - to say nothing of a number of other more servile employments. Such description of men ought not to suffer oppression from the state, but the state suffers oppression if such as they, either individually or collectively, are permitted to rule."]
