Remember, Kids. Socialism is the Opposite of Greed
The clip below comes via Darleen and is copied from the latest update to this extended post. But it captures one of those special moments and is possibly worth repeating. From Occupy Wall Street:
Because socialism is never, ever about being selfish or opportunist or exploitative. Or greedy. Ahem.
Update:
From Occupy Portland, via Jammie Wearing Fool. Do you know your twinkles from your down twinkles? I thought not.
Hey, it’s the future of democracy. Get with it.
excluding income lost by local businesses?

The occupiers show that Capitalism is working!
Incidentally, the multimillion dollar bill for all these “occupations”… will be picked up by… well, guess.
Naturally.
“Demands are disempowering since they require someone else to respond,” said Gabriel Willow, a protester strolling past a sleeping-bag pod of young adults in the park last Monday. “It’s not like we couldn’t come up with any, but I don’t think people would vote for them.”
Because people would realize all this “free” stuff has to be paid for by them.
Lessons in greed…

Although a lot of the people involved with this issue are primarily there as attention seekers, it is obvious the education should not be reserved for the rich. I don’t know whether we as a civilization can understand that social in-equality is destroying us. There are so many bright people who never get the chance to learn only because they were unfortunate enough to be born to the wrong financial class of people.
Jenny, education is available for free. It’s right here on the internet, if you look for it. The education bubble is about to burst and leave a lot of people scratching their heads wondering what happened to all of their minions.
The teaching credential bubble/system will burst very soon.
Maybe then people will start LEARNING.
