"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them..." Frederick Douglass

Blogger's Note, October 30

The reason I have not been writing about OccupySeattle is that I do not want my critique to impede the movement. Perhaps I flatter myself to think that it might, but the people involved are lovely young people who have my respect, gratitude, and support, however frustrated I sometimes become.

By the same token I refuse to become a cheerleader let alone a propagandist.

I thank those of you who have inquired, and I will have plenty to say at the appropriate time. Until then OCCUPY.
