Occupy Vancouver Day 2

The crowd is down

from 500o to 500

more tents are in place.

The weather has been mercifully sunny and the mood has been generally good.

The police presence is large and so far there have been no arrests.

The food is being provided by Foods Not Bombs.

In Vancouver we always have water.

In New York they report they are “winning”.

(That terminology is inappropriate but does accurately describe personal experience but again from a neo liberal perspective which is the all consuming narrative). 

*@#$%

Change the way you view the world and you will be a different person says old Che before he died..

This of course takes time and it is still early days.

Hedonistic enlightenment is well entrenched and cameras are everywhere.

As Wade Rathke says

“Who knows if this will develop into a real movement rather than an exciting spurt, but for now if it’s the best we have , let’s keep the fire burning.” 

Conquer abroad oppress at home.
