^^^^^^^ CB: I'm a Libertine, go to Bert's bar almost everyday ( and that ain't all). However, I specifically don't drink at Occupy Wall Street in Detroit, because that location is under intense scrutiny by many to detect behavior that can be used to discredit the Occupation in the minds of some of the 99% who are more socially conservative than I am; and it would be foolish to give the police an excuse to bust us because I must "express myself" and "do my own thing in my own time".
We are socialists, prioritizing social connections and group goals over individual freedom and expression in the context of heightened confrontations with the private property and the state.
One of my contributions to Occupy Detroit is informing the comrades that there is karaoke on Wednesday's at Berts. We will be having a good time there today ( my nickname is Goodtime Charles). ohh ...gotta go to the Party of a New Type. See u tomorrow.
