    I guess they remembered the last big party?

    Honestly, I think this is the best way to proceed. Free ranged hippies will live up to the deal, penned ones will start looking for ways to break it.

    Great to see the hysterical reaction in elite circles to this, the wagons circling and the viscious propaganda spewing forth.

    It means they're taking it seriously, they're scared of it, and want to crush it before it gains any traction.

    Jesus Christ yourself. "Debtor's prison" "Scrooge" "Slaving away in a coal mine". What, are you posting from 1875 or something? Does anyone actually work in coal mines anymore?! What is the average salary of the lowest paid coal miner?

    Tell me this is all a big troll you've been putting on for the past year or so.

    Oh and:
    1) This shit never happened when Bush was in office.
    2) I just realized, I don't need mace and rubber buckshot. I've got the bullwhip.

    Of course a bullwhip isn't the best weapon when facing more than maybe 2 people and I'm really not up for shooting anyone, so the Indy costume maybe isn't the best choice for a counterprotest.

    One thing it's been good for is separating the good guys from the wackos/anarchists.

    The anarchists are actually pissed that the Mayor is trying to 'legitimize' 'control' and 'co-opt' the movement... by you know, asking them to sleep where there are restrooms! :blink: And considering the alternative site for sleeping isn't hidden away by any means BUT IN FRONT OF CITY HALL, I don't see why that is a problem.

    If they dressed in rags, you'd be calling them smelly hippies. Corporate control over society means that it is unavoidable to use their products. Stopping short of a full boycott is not incongruous with demanding a change in how things are run.

    Actually no. We'd call them smelly hippies no matter what they wore.

    New York city is complaining about the stench. I predict a move to make them leave sometime next week.

    Hopefully it involves a lot of horses, tear gas, pepper spray, bean bags, tasers, and baton beatings. :yes:

    Is it kind of like the Tea Partiers on Medicare driving to anti-government rallies on government-built roads, protected by government-funded police officers, etc., etc., etc.?

    No it started out as a recipe sharing site for hobo hunters. Eventually it evolved into the smart military blog it is today. At least it is when Ace isn't on a Val-U-Rite Vodka fueled bender.
