An “Occupy Primer” (November 14, 2011)
. . .
? “The Bonus Marchers sought what?”
! “Bonuses owed to them by the government.”
? “The civil rights advocates sought what?”
! “Civil rights.”
? “The women’s rights proponents sought what?”
! “Women’s rights.”
? “Those who sought to end the war in Vietnam sought what?”
! “To end the war in Vietnam.”
? “Those in the Occupy Movement seek what?”
! “Simple. They seek to end a game that is rigged at every step against everyone except a very small elite. They seek to change a political and financial and legal and schooling scheme that is corrupt and decadent from top to bottom and from right to left. They seek a build a future but suspect that there is not one. They seek to replace the current vacuous kleptocracy with a viable democracy. They seek to start a discussion and a dialogue among equals in an outdoor Academy to supplant the lies foisted on them from those in power. That type of stuff.”
?! “They want a fair chance. I get it.”
