Seattle is a happening place to be, brimming with life, and old skyscrapers. I'm lucky to be a resident in such a sophisticated city. As I write there is a ongoing protest occurring only about a mile from my humble abode. It is a protest that has been slandered, and isn't necessarily popular amongst many conservatives, and even liberals. It's called Occupy Seattle. I'm sure you've probably heard of it if you live in Washington. It's a spin off of the Occupy Wallstreet protests in NYC. I have a friend whose very active in the movement. I initially want to join this cause but the idea of camping in Westlake park for however long it takes to get the perceived message across is honestly quite daunting. Not to mention I don't agree with there views on the federal reserve. With all of that said, still I can't help but admire the brash dedication to hold Wallstreet accountable for their crimes.
I think that Occupy Seattle will eventually become something much more substantial, and powerful then the mere (if not slightly scattered) ideals the movement possesses. I think this protest is at least 30 years overdue, given how the Reagan administration fueled the fire for all of the grotesque power the corporate world now possesses. I definitely plan on participating one of these days. We need a revolution, because I'm tired of seeing hard working being being exploited, and getting stepped all over by our current administration. I eventually plan to interview the individuals involved in Occupy Seattle. I would like to have a better picture of what this movement consists of solely from the prospective of the organizers of this resistance. I will update this soon. In the meantime folks, remember to be good to each other, and to stay informed. Ciao.
