Imperfect as the feeds are, I'd one hundred million times more rather watch this with my own eyes while we can-- than any corp news spinning and trying telling us all about it any day. Turn off the pundits, politicians and second-hand story-tellers. All of them.
Res ipsa loquitur.

2. I think they should do away with the microphones. |
|
It just feels like another "We're up here, and we're directing you down there" sort of situation.
The repetition method without electronic devices is much more effective -- and it insures that everyone is paying attention and is involved. That prevents minds, hands, feet, etc. from wandering and getting into mischief. The call-out communication was really great.
Too bad that they are using microphones.

3. I've had an emotional reaction too |
|
Does anyone else see this as - at least in part - an outpouring of goodness? That part of it isn't just a reaction to corruption and fraud, but a rejection of the idea that "those are the breaks" is an acceptable response to human suffering no matter why it came about?

5. I am emotional about this too - it's beautiful and amazing. |

We as a people have been complacent for far too long. This is the start of the beginning; I know it and I guess that's why I feel....proud? hopeful? relieved? Hard for me to put my finger on it.

14. I felt stifled since bush stole the white house and we invaded Iraq |
|
I cry when I watch this protest too....all that frustration has built up over a decade...
I voted for Obama and thought he would change things....that isn't gonna happen so I guess it's up to "we" the people to take the challenge into our own hands.
Not sure what I am going to do...but the sidelines wishing and hoping and praying just isn't working...
I am basically writing this to myself.>Gin

22. I always wondered why the wars did not bring more people into the streets... |
|
Don't get me wrong. There were (are) a lot of protests. But they never seemed to be the scale of this.

I think they'll begin to fear the 99% pretty soon.

15. it hit me when speaking about it the other day to a friend... |
|
Edited on Wed Oct-05-11 04:34 PM by FirstLight
and suddenly i was weeping too...just awed by the fact that the UNIFYING forces are our struggles and support of one another...that regardless of it all, we are standing together in PEACE and DEMANDING SHIFT...
It's like watching the collective consciousness change before your eyes, from polarity and duality, fear and control...to Unity, Compassion and Peacefulness.
a beautiful moment indeed :grouphug:
