Occupy For Freedom

I won't embed this video from last Saturday, when a young girl was left convulsing on the ground by the NYPD after they cracked her ribs - but if you want to know why I carried this banner, that incident is why.  Does anyone remember THIS question - What.If.You.Knew.Her?  I was only 16 then - and the stranglehold of the military/industrial/corporate complex, the US exploitation of helpless undeveloped nations, has only intensified since then.  How.Can.You.Run...When.You.Know???

So, I haven't had much time to write about trees dying from air pollution - even though there is much more to report - because I just can't sit idly by while our "democracy" becomes an overtly (as opposed to a quiescent, consumerist) oligarchic, fascist state.  That's moi in the next picture - just above the "n" in resign.  Tomorrow, I hope to get back to writing about ozone...but Saturday, I'll be back at the barricades in the city, for a huge (hope!) protest against the violation of our civil rights.
