I have been reluctant to support the Occupy Movement because the core group of folks seemed to be leftist, class warfare, anti-capitalists...
However I have seen the broadening of participants and feel that the chance to steer many of the followers to a more libertarian or voluntarist position is starting to develop.

This appears to be one man's efforts...

Good video but it seems like it will fall on deaf ears.  Based on those I've spoken to involved in the occupy movement and from the online sites they set up the only uniform message they are sending out is they want more from their government.  It's all about their "free" stuff.

Read their messages, the majority want you and I to pay their way on things.

Some or most... in the end I'll take even the few that come to our way of thinking. Many of the libertarian luminaries came around from being socialists etc.

How come it's not called a "sit-in"?

Lloyd use to call it a sit-in.

Well, the schedule hasn't been finalized yet.  I'm sure it was suggested.

If necessary I will find a bra with a UN flag on it for you to burn at Burning Porc.
