And Occupy had embraced the Black Bloc and there tactics of violence against the cops?

Perhaps they were wrong, perhaps if they had become violent then DU would have been behind them?...No I think not...when the cops came down on them like a ton of bricks we would have cheered for it...
Perhaps we are just a nation of cowards, too wimpy to do what these people did.

We live in a strange world today...schizophrenic I think
