Habits of mind are everything. This is why slave rebellions always
fail.

Not just those in living in ages of equality but also activists who
want to introduce or reintroduce equality should read the literature
of aristocratic ages as well.

The greatest leveler of all time, Thomas Jefferson, said that the 3
greatest men of all time were Bacon, Locke and Newton.

All 3 were English aristocrats.

The spill over effect of on line financial services _constantly_
encouraging consumers to think critically about email scams is what
the 0.01% should really fear, not some campers in city parks.

GOP scams, i.e., get-rich-quick-with-the-Gipster, school vouchers,
etc., will, with the help of Pay Pal / online checking and credit card
warnings, eventually end up in the same part of the brain as Nigerian
prince emails.

This process can be sped up with a little conscious help, i.e.,
pointing out how the national political media, with few exceptions all
working for the 0.01%, have the same M.O. as Jerry Springer.

Yea...remember, many of us said from the getgo that Soros and company
was reading the American people wrong (to conjure up this attempt at
such with OWS). Americans don't want insurrection...just jobs. The
cattle are nowhere close to stampeding...but they just might horn you
if they can find out where you are [Soros]. George Soros should be
number one on the FBI's most wanted list as most dangerous man to
American freedom and sovergnty.
Cripes...he can't even speak the language right...along with that
Huffington slut? Who are thse foreigners anyway, come here to
partake, then destroy.

Soros wasn't behind OWS.

> Americans don't want insurrection...

Neither does Soros. He just wants freedom.

GOP scams like tax cuts for the rich isn't freedom.

Soros is The pro freedom free market capitalist.

You could say the same about the greatest American, Thomas Paine.

Anyway you dodged the issue: The long term constant effort by
financial services to get consumers to think critically about scam
emails could eventually have an enormous effect on politics.

That what creationists say about evolution and AGW deniers say about
climate change, the ol' "you can't say or do anything unless you are
omniscient" argument.

In real life individuals companies and nations make decision every day

First of all, they'd have to be slaves. I guess that you've been
out at the bat cave since the early 1860's, because slavery is
already banned in America. Also, most OWS-ers have never
worked a day, which is a part of the whole slave role. So, no,
it's not a slave revolt at all.

It's a temper tantrum by spoiled brats playing circle-A anarchist

No, it was just a reaction to the mortgage crisis and the bail out. It
has produced a new and dangerous generation of non couch potatoes.
Expect much more trouble in the future from these kids, they won't
take shit laying down like our generations have come to suck up daily.

As Aristophanes wrote, "A slave is he who cannot speak his thought."

That's why looneytarians and GOP shill tank economists always dodge
The Question:

"Does free speech precede each and every free trade?"

They know Repugs would have to pay fair market wages with free speech.

Working class income would rapidly approach $65/hour and middle class
wages over $100/hr.

As George Carlin pointed out the only goal of the GOP is getting you
to work for free.

"If the gummint sez so then it must be true." It's good to see you
are no longer a looneytarian but,

1. it took you how long? 15 years?

2. you still cannot think critically like a free citizen in a free
country.

You were doing better being 'puter literate, eruditated and putting on
sock puppet shows.

> Also, most OWS-ers have never
> worked a day,

As Tocqueville wrote, "slavery introduces idleness to society."

That's why race based chattel slavery came to an end.

If you don't pay people to work they don't work.

That's why the USSR came to an end.

As they said in the USSR, "I pretend to work and they pretend to pay
me."

The same goes for today's libertarian wage slavery. It just doesn't
compete against the Keynesian Chinese.

So just as the Republican Party came into existence just before the
end of chattel slavery the GOP is fittingly going out of existence
with the end of wage slavery.

Hopefully the armed revolt teabaggers in Greene County, Va. will stop
marching around in the woods and take a day trip 96 miles south and
research what went wrong the 1st time conservatives tried to preserve
slavery with violence, checking them evil feds, etc.

Okay. So the OWS-ers are all suffering from aphasia? Well,
something's
obviously wrong with them, what with their mad bombing plots, their
antisemitic posters, and their willingness to shit in public.

So you are saying there's a conspiracy to hide the fact that slavery
is still
legal? That's some conspiracy you got there. How much meth did it
require
to convince yourself of that one?

Abraham Lincoln didn't die in vain, he died in Washington D.C.

But not generally among the slaves.

Does that mean you'll stop dodging The Question,

"Does free speech precede each and every free trade?"

So you got nothing?

Anyway, have you noticed that the Democrats have dumped
Occupy like a sandwich after bugs crawl out of it? Instead of
siding with OWS on May Day, or even mounting some proletarian
solidarity slogan, Obama declared it Loyalty Day.

Loyalty Day? WTF? Joseph McCarthy on the Red Phone.

Certainly no answer to The Question:

"Does free speech precede each and every free trade?"

Care to try again?

Remember, the more you dodge the more everyone will think there really
is de facto censorship based wage slavery.

I don't care, as a matter of fact. Who does?

You assume this everyone you speak of is incredibly dumb.

But back to the topic of OWS.

Q: How many Occupiers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Occupiers don't screw in light bulbs, they screw down at Zuccotti
Park.

Here, try again:

"Does free speech precede each and every free trade?"
