okc working group: let's start writing this play!

 When I get the play finished I'll give you an audition... Yes, it is so obvious that there will be a Broadway musical about OWS.  There will of course be lots of roles for people who are unsatisfied. Electing a candidate? mkay. Our acting skills are not to be wasted on such uncreative endeavors.  The system is not worth fixing if people have the same philosophy of 'bring us more pie'(mostly the tea party, but ows too).    You are my friends, and I say complain freely; it makes us stronger.  When I was volunteering after Katrina, gutting flood houses, complaining about the situation was a healthy relief and release.  I felt like complaining was a gift to god, but see, humor also can run through it.    There are some things ows or a movement can't give to people, quite like milking cows in a frozen barn all winter, or bucking hay in the field can, so I certainly don't expect most people to have the experiences they actually need to be self-actualized.  But that doesn't mean I think they're complainy tweens; what should I expect from anyone? No expectations.
I think having solidarity with the real homeless who live in tents all their life is a brilliant strategy. 

There aren't enough people with the life experiences and skills to make things run smoothly who are also available to endure all the meetings etc.  Having the sauce simmer all day is the original recipe.  Don't rush the shot.  Don't throw down love like it's not good enough. Don't let the actions of others dictate how you act,  don't take your cues from other actors - you know how the show is supposed to go? Sing it with all your heart.   Maybe our tolerance of overly serious people is a little thin in these dark days, but if you're not laughing with me I hope at least you're laughing at me.
