... although the one shown in this picture is more original than most. But in general I hate this category of 'protest'; the assertiveness of 'occupy' is a huge improvement. Time magazine's 'person of the year' for 2011 was notoriously 'The Protester', which manages to recognize and simultaneously belittle thousands of determined and brave people from Tahrir Square to Zuccotti Park. They didn't 'protest'; they acted.

Got a link for the Gitlin sermon? Though come to think of it, why am I asking? Glutton for punishment, I guess.

The Occupy movement has indeed been instructive on the significant difference between an occupation and mere marches, the latter being mostly liberal-feelgood-then-go-home-and-fughettaboutit events.
