LOL, Listen to yourself Janet. Those hate-sites that you feed you all this nonsense and all your lame talking points are shining through. So you and "a lot of others" would give the Tea Party "a lot of respect" if they defecated on our flag and masturbated in public like the Occupy Traitors? You're funny. <br

In some cities, the regular homeless are being scooped up out of their usual locations and being funneled towards the local Occupy gathering. The "issues" (drug, psych, fleas) they bring aren't going to help matters.

Let me just remind you of "hated presidents", Abraham Lincoln, JFK, Nixon, Johnson, Clinton, etc.. 60% of America doesn't hate Obama, they hate his policies and tactics, he is ruling by decree right now, look it up. Look up czars while you are at it. Oh yeah, he going on another "tour" 3 continents 10 days, and millions of dollars, he thanks you for your tax contribution for his "working vacation". Happy Veterans Day! Look it up..... [ More ]

Like the Tea Party. Rather than being Obama haters they could have been Wall Street, Bank haters. They surely have more money, power, knowledge, position, and maturity than these college students. The inpact would have been phenominal. But they were more interested in gaining power back than helping people. What did we get from the Tea Party? The worst hate America ever shown to a president, Democrats and we got CAIN. If the Tea Party had stood for real issues a... [ More ]

Nature's Way

It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong

It's nature's way of telling you in a song

It's nature's way of receiving you

It's nature's way of retrieving you

It's nature's way of telling you

Something's wrong.

from CBS New York:

With wintry weather poised to swoop into the cramped outdoor quarters of Occupy Wall Street protesters, it may not be long before more campers catch what's being called Zuccotti lung.

That's what demonstrators have dubbed the sickness that seems to be spreading among them at an unpleasantly high rate these days: It's a real thing, Willie Carey, 28, told the New York Times.

With little sleep in cold conditions, cigarettes and drinks being passed from mouth to mouth, and few opportunities to wash hands, Zuccotti Park may now just be the best place to catch respiratory viruses, norovirus (also known as the winter vomiting virus) and tuberculosis, according to one doctor.

The damp clothing and cardboard signs wet with rain are also breeding grounds for mold. Some protesters are urinating in bottles and leaving food trash discarded throughout the campground, providing further opportunities for nastiness.

Pretty much everything here is a good way to get sick, Salvatore Cipolla, 23, from Long Island, told the Times. It ll definitely thin the herd.

Some protesters have refused free flu shots, citing a government conspiracy, the Times said.

There is also the increased risk among the encampment of sexually transmitted diseases, said the doctor, Dr. Philip M. Tierno, Jr. of the NYU Langone Medical Center. And the site's pounding circles could lead to hearing damage.

Tierno compared conditions at the park to the pilgrimage to Mecca, in which entire groups of people have come down with respiratory infections in short period of time, and the communal compounds of the 1960s where sanitation problems and STDs cropped up.

The health department has visited the site and is monitoring.

It should go without saying that lots of people sleeping outside in a park as we head toward winter is not an ideal situation for anyone s health, the department said in a statement.
