This is all out of proportion. Even if the BlacK Bloc is every bit as bad as portrayed it STILL does not particularly "benefit the 1%. All this excitement over something so trivial is looking sillier and sillier. Much worse things are going to happen, and if they don't happen they will be reported on TV & the New York Times as happening anyhow.

The Occupations March On. They have created a new political world for us. Focus on exploiting that new world, not on nit-picking with this or that Occupation or this or that feature of this or that Occupation.

Again: Much worse things will happen, and they won't really affect the whole.

And see fwd attached at end of this post.

There're a whole bunch of variants you could do for the 2nd one...

IPA leaders from Bloomington, Normal, Peoria and Decatur joined OCCUPY Blo-No and Peoria with a surprise visit to Chase Bank today. The group of over 40 leaders presented the Golden Calf representing the false idol of wealth without conscience and abusive power the Big Banks worship. Peoria leader Virginia testified in the bank lobby of her being lied to by Chase CEO Jamie Dimon that the bank would work out her home loan. Bloomington Police officer said he supported our cause and free speech - no hassles. Go to our fb page/ILPeoplesAction for photo album.
