If I throw a pie at your window and then you leave garden gnomes on my lawn, and then I send a clown to your house, and then you scream at me, are we having a conversation?<br /><br />Is refusing to leave a physical space, holding up protest signs, and screaming at each other a conversation?<br /><br />Or were you referring to blogging and emailing? Because the "conversation" seems to be usually with like-minded people, or "trolling" which ends up being pretty vicious.<br /><br />What actual conversations are happening and would you want to talk about your experiences with the "conversation" aspects of the protests?thecrankycitizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113386065614450594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753593230575057500.post-28571188169757454022011-11-29T22:22:06.257-06:002011-11-29T22:22:06.257-06:00Also do you still not make a rhetorical link with ...Also do you still not make a rhetorical link with Imperialism in the term "occupy"? Does it matter? Should they change the name or is it important?

You say you are fiscally socialist. Can you explain how you mean that?<br /><br />2. You say you vote Democrat because you have no other options. I belong to the Green Party and vote for Greens or Democrats. Is there no other party that you support? Would you rather see improvement in the Democratic Party, growing balls and being honest, for example, or would you like to see more parties?<br /><br />3. You say "First a conversation has to take place, I.e. Occupy physical spaces and from there, a series of solid actions." -- Do you feel a conversation is taking place? Why not solid actions first? Why, and this is what I'm really trying to figure out, why on earth do you think people feel they should occupy physical spaces - at all, or in order for a conversation to take place?thecrankycitizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113386065614450594noreply@blogger.com
