I think that's where it was. It was the BEST WE HAD at that point and I will always be thankful to him for trying...even though it didn't quite come off as "Occupy Wall Street" at that point in time...it still should be in the History Books along with Cindy Sheehan for the First to Speak Up against the MIC Media who had all of America in a Frenzy over "9/11" and WAR...WAR...WAR..

The early spokespersons often get a footnote in History when a movement against Power starts...but, eventually someone notices. I was glad to have them speaking for many of us who had "QUESTIONS" back then.

But, I understand what you say...of the innocence of it.
