many of our (still!) so affluent citizens don’t yet realize what we stand for, neither do they want to know where their wealth comes from. and who had to pay for it. many turn their eyes from the obscene practice of the financial industry. but then, we are getting support from many sides, and this is what encourages us.
the great 94 years old stéphane hessel had a speech in a packed zurich auditorium. he mentioned occupy paradeplatz (zurich’s equivalent to wall street, the staid an sacred home of the notorious and discreet gnomes of zurich) four times, and I thanked him. His booklet *time for outrage”, over two million times printed, http://www.mediafire.com/?dx7uab9v4xgmjvo , is our guiding line.
The longer we engage others in thoughtful conversation, share ideas and possibilities, help out people whose homes are being foreclosed upon, and continue to peacefully demonstrate, the more others will eventually come to understand what the Occupy movement is all about.
