Found here.
BOOM.
ROASTED.
True democracy has as many aims as it does participants.

Came home for reading week and was so stoked to see an Occupy London (Ontario) taking off in my favourite downtown park.
None of these pics are from Occupy London but they are fantastic signs made by incredibly dedicated protesters.
Rock on, guys.
dr seuss and hyperbole-and-a-half

Alexis Marie speaking at Times Square during an #OccupyWallstreet protest. The sign reads “13% of the population (Black people) have always known how fucked up the system is, 86% just learned this… together we are the 99%” jonubian:msalexismarie

Dear 53%ers:
Congratulations on all your success. I mean that. But all this “the gov’t never helped me” stuff? Yeah, about that:
- That no-frills State U. education you paid yourself through was so cheap because it was subsidized with tax dollars. The scholarship you earned, same deal.
- The road you drive on to work didn’t magically appear there. It was a gov’t project.
- You’ve likely never been hospitalized for food poisoning. Federal food inspectors do good work.
- Your business has been able to flourish in part thanks to protection from police and fire departments … UNION WORKERS and gov’t employees all.
- The Internet is a wonderful thing that makes wide dissemination of your ideas quick and easy, isn’t it? Yep, another innovation of the bloated, incompetent federal government.
- At this very moment you are paying my salary to defend your right to your poorly-formed opinion and to be callous toward your fellow man. You’re welcome, jerks.
Sincerely,
An American soldier in Afghanistan
This is beautiful.
I do not understand why these concepts are so hard to grasp for some people.
Two words: “Willful blindness.”

They’re either stupid or willfully ignorant.
