OCW WAVE WILL SOON BECOME A TSUNAMI / WALL STREET BEWARE

OCW WAVE WILL SOON BECOME A TSUNAMI / WALL STREET BEWARE

“Every city that joins the Occupy Wall Street movement is another Banderilla placed in the back of a corrupt capitalistic system whose days are numbered. This movement started as a ripple, is now a wave and will soon become a people led Tsunami which will change America forever”

(The greater the difficulty, the more the glory in surmounting it. – Epicurus)

There is something glorious in the people led Occupy Wall Street movement for it is rooted in the moral imperatives of justice, self-sacrifice and social responsibility.

The New York Times reports that a recent poll shows that 54% of Americans have a favorable impression of the Occupy Wall Street movement, which is twice the 27% who have a favorable impression of the Tea Party movement. The apparent reason is the Tea Party sees itself as stressing only individual responsibility ~ whereas the Occupation Wall Street Movement is stressing both individual and social responsibility

Chris Hedges calls it non historical values ~ “values closer to Martin Luther King than Abby Hoffman … the movement eschews the hedonism of the New Left; indeed it does not permit drugs or alcohol in Zuccotti Park. It denounces the consumer culture and every evening shares its food with the homeless, who also often sleep in the park. But, most important, it eschews, through a nonhierarchical system of self-governance, the deadly leadership cults that plagued and ultimately destroyed the movements of the 1960s.” http://www.commondreams.org/view/2011/10/24-1

And therein lays its magnificence ~ OCW is rooted in truth, fairness and social responsibility which were once the underpinnings of our once great Republic.

We have obviously forgotten the words of Benjamin Franklin ~ ” Wise and good men are, in my opinion, the strength of the state; much more so than riches and arms.”
