[Peace] good news?

[Chris Goodrow]

For some reason, www.occupycu.org returns that the site cannot be found. You can get to a cached copy of it from January 24, 2012. Now, occupycu.org is fine, as ishttp://occupycu.org. I will look into this. 

Sorry about the repeat email, Julianne. I forgot to reply all on the previous one.

> Hi there, Chandler, I want to make sure I understand your position. You seem to be saying that if someone makes a claim about me, and I ask for evidence for the claim, I am attacking the person making the claim, by asking for evidence. Maybe I didn't understand what you said. My belief is that a person who makes an unfounded claim is the one attacking, and one who asks for evidence is simply asking for the attacker to be reasonable.

I don't think any politician would want to be associated with that. Which is fine, because Occupy is not about cooperating with the government. That's why it's called a "global revolution." It's about confrontation with the government, similar to what has been going on in Egypt.

These positions seem contradictory, but I have found myself in them because of my reasoning regarding how to change the world from what it is to what I want it to be.

That's why Democratic politicians and their fans should steer clear of a movement that explicitly and repeatedly calls for global revolution and then acts on it. Videos like this help make that point, whether intentionally or not.
