Just address the issue. As I said, when you don't, it only gives the appearance that your argument is weak. <br /><br />I read your blog, and it had a troublesome tone. You should be aware of that. "Death of a Movement" is a two-fer message and you seem smart enough to know that. So given that what follows, which is, by the way, based on the assumption that the protesters are filthy (ie "dirty hippies"), is an outlandish prediction that takes us all the way to the Bubonic plague (?!!), it's clear that there is some ray of hope in the idea that "the movement," of which you obviously disapprove, is so verminous that its own impurities will inspire spontaneous illness. Oh happy day that no one should have to hear more about what banks and corps in general are doing to the middle and working classes, or that they should stay out of the pockets of politicians (half of who, btw, are Democrats). <br /><br />Blog posts aren't the best way to have conversations? What is? Twitter? Do you think people who don't know you would wish to converse about this privately so that it's one against one? Or so that it appears in public that no one disagrees with what you write? Why would you bother blogging with a comments sections at all then? <br /><br />If you're thinking I'm someone that knows you personally and is hiding from you, don't. Someone I follow on Twitter (I don't even remember who now) tweeted a link to this particular blog. So I'm just an American, another one you haven't met like probably all of the people marching on Wall Street and on streets across the country. I'm just someone who is pretty convinced you're paying attention to media that is hellbent on protecting the corps that pay their bills, when instead, you should be asking yourself who exactly it is that benefits the most from your representatives receiving unlimited amounts of campaign cash from people like Goldman Sachs and Lehmann Bros. The people standing up for themselves are just as concerned about the country as you are, and perhaps they're not the ill-informed, unwashed creatures that you seem to think they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2797197761081207221.post-49629291876654027192011-10-20T13:15:07.880-04:002011-10-20T13:15:07.880-04:00Just to be clear: I do not wish anyone harm.

The facts are that anytime a large group congregates for long periods, disease can spread quickly. <br />As to the anonymous people, I don't care who you are, only that you are hiding. You make a statement and run away. What are you afraid of? Why hide? Why not have a conversation about it? Blog posts are not the best way to have a conversation. Not one of the anonymous people have posted anY proof of what they say. <br />None of you are worthy of any respect.<br />Here is just one article as my proof: http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_19139574BBUMHhttp://twitter.com/#!/BBUMHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2797197761081207221.post-15876554144559238772011-10-20T09:25:11.281-04:002011-10-20T09:25:11.281-04:00This "anon" is the one that posted at 11...This "anon" is the one that posted at 11:10pm/10-17. I didn't write the other two posts. And it's none of your business what my name is. My friends, family and acquaintances in the online world know exactly where I stand. I don't need a legion of lockstep trolls coming after me on twitter. Truth is the truth, for those paying real attention. So why on earth would you, after a couple of insightful responses to this blog, only be concerned with who is responding? Is it that personal attacks, such as this blog, are easier than actually sticking to the facts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2797197761081207221.post-60354609993484996032011-10-18T13:31:01.975-04:002011-10-18T13:31:01.975-04:00Dear "Anonymous": Why hide behind "...Dear "Anonymous": Why hide behind "anonymous" I'm on twitter for anyone who wishes to discuss this, but you knew that already or how would you have found the blog?BBUMHhttp://twitter.com/#!/BBUMHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2797197761081207221.post-35749182090078812362011-10-18T12:24:21.913-04:002011-10-18T12:24:21.913-04:00this article is a joke, i have to assume it is a p...this article is a joke, i have to assume it is a plant, considering nothing written in it is true, the area is cleaned by the people there, wow, just wow at this level of ignoranceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2797197761081207221.post-61448253300935557912011-10-18T02:31:42.968-04:002011-10-18T02:31:42.968-04:00This is a joke, right?

I mean, if you only knew the level of caring and conscientiousness among the Occupioneers, with things like providing their own sanitation (green), first aid tents with all supplies, including rubber gloves, ad all kinds of wellness aids, not to mention healthy food for free - you'd be ashamed to have published such nonsense. And if this is the strongest criticism you can come up with - a criticism based on assumptions and speculation - you're done for! What about the 45 million Americans without any health insurance and the countless others with inadequate coverage? What about those whose insurance companies dump them as soon as they become ill? <br />And I suggest in the meantime that you, Angela, visit your friendly neighborhood occupioneers and see for yourself what kind of things they are doing with their donated money and time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2797197761081207221.post-18297363977364462662011-10-18T02:10:43.977-04:002011-10-18T02:10:43.977-04:00It's kind of sick that the author seems to be ...It's kind of sick that the author seems to be rooting for this.

I mean, even if each one is $100/week, surely they can afford that? They're spending a lot more than that on drugs and condoms alone, surely. It makes no sense to me. There's no excuse for them NOT spending this donated money on things that will benefit every single one of them. You know.
