I went to the local Nanaimo occupation last night and smoked a J with them, gave them some ideas for things they could do to be more visible and vocal.  They might rent out the giant TV in the park they're in and pay for it through local business advertisements etc. 

I was like "where's the remote for that big tv?!?!?"  and thats when I came up with the idea. 

I'm 1% but I completely agree with a lot of what they're fighting for, the system is screwed.

You're 1%?  That means you are in the 1% wealthiest people in the world.  Is there something you haven't told us Jetsguy  :P

LOL I should have said 1% of Canadians, when you say worldwide I doubt I am even close to the 1%.

the system appears to be mangled not entirely broken,me personally i can sympathize with the occupiers.i have worked my whole life and earned a decent living,sometimes i had two jobs, sometimes three.
    today i can't find that second or third job,i make about half of what i used to make,i can't afford health ins.(i've had health ins. for over thirty years but it just kept going up).i live very simply i paid down my credit card debt my car is paid off..i don't really know where i'm going with this but things need to change.i'm sure my story is nothing new,but it sucks when it happens to you.
