I ran across this from a post at Glenn Greenwald's Guardian site. Even I (being the cynic that I am) am incredulous. The incestuous relationships that have their tentacles invading every institution in the U.S. Government, as well as, the large corporations point to the empire elite, who carry water for the .1%.

I have been playing music at occupyboston since the first weekend that it came together. I'm not a professional musician and I thought that this was a way I could give to the community, by contributing my time and expense of getting there to entertain the "troops", who I love dearly.

This diary expands on claude's using the same reference.

Many people ask what the occupy movements are about. They ask what are the protesters' demands. They ask who are their leaders. They say why don't you all just get a job. They say the protesters are anarchists. They say they are DFH. They want to frame the movement into their own definable box.

George Lakoff published a very lucid and well thought out analysis of what this movement is really about, which takes the context to a new level. This is his editorial for truthout.org and should be read in its entirety.

We all operate in self-interest, as doing so, helps to ensure (we hope) our survival. Whether it be one person or a group of people, self-interest drives the equation. Therefore, a group, That Can Be Known As (TCBKA) a body of government officials can qualify. Also, a group of people TCBKA a body of corporate employees can qualify. In addition, a group of people TCBKA a loosely-bound body of "citizens" can qualify. These groups are not mutually exclusive. How do these groups interact?

Well, first off you'd have to get used to the rules of golf being changed at a whim...but, heh, that's not too removed from the everyday golfer...but methinks in this case the deception would not stop at simple improving of lies...(wait a minute...that's what they DO every day)...I'm dead...

Saw this on the news as well as here

Crowds of gay marriage supporters and opponents crowded the front of the Statehouse hours before the session convened to press lawmakers on the measure, which would define marriage in Massachusetts as the union of a man and woman.

Proponents of the amendment seized the high ground, standing directly at the foot of the Statehouse steps with signs reading, "Let the People Vote."

"Legislators are sent to Beacon Hill to vote on a matter, not to not vote on a matter," said one of the sign holders, Paul Ferro, 30, of Norton.

Opponents stood on the opposite side of Beacon Street, in front of a Civil War memorial, with their own banners. "Let the people marry," read one.

In a display of the emotions, one of the amendment's backers yelled across the street at a person with a sign reading, "Start Acting Like Christians." The amendment proponent said, "We are Christians, just like you."
