120. not odd

Dec 2011

we are glad to have them on our side. Times are in critical situation. Things that would normally be considered not appropriate are now welcomed. Things are getting really shitty out there and I love Anonymous and I love that they are on our side.

Do I wince a bit at times? I do. But nothing else has changed anything. Not a democratic house, president, congress, former protests, nothing changed.

It's kind of like change things or watch everything and everyone you love die.

I will support OWS and anonymous, hopefully right into our congress, house, presidency.

and whatever methods they choose.
