(34,589 posts)One good sign: when he was about 5, he ran up to a couple on the street and told them that "George Bush takes toys from poor children and gives them to rich children!!!". We all got a good laugh.

(61 posts)and I am outraged that they are treating your son and other protesters like that. Please tell him that so many of us are grateful to him and OWS for fighting the good fight for all of us. I have been following OWS from the beginning and they give me hope that real change is possible. Hope he is okay and has a speedy recovery.
and would like to add this painting to the many thanks I feel in my heart for those on the frontlines of this massive shift.

I doubt I would submit to the retina scan as well.
