Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Rachel Maddow gives an update on the Occupy protests around the country, and interviews Dan Siegel, ex-legal adviser to the Oakland Mayor.
From what I understand, he and the Mayor have known each other for years (since university). When asked why he left, she simply said "he decided to go one way, and I another."
The common excuse used to shut done occupy movements is the need to "Clean" the areas being occupied. The general implication is that the people participating in the occupy movement are flithy and slovenly.....living like animals.
This is demeaning and degrading on purpose.
I understand from a lot of reports that this is not exactly true. To counter this propoganda, it might be a good idea for the every camp to publish pictures of the camp on a regular basis to prove that the accusations are not true.

Well, mark me down for following Siegel's way.

He specialized in Civil Rights.
ReplyDeleteDoes anything more need to be said?
What a man of conviction!
ReplyDeleteI respect people like him, who put their money where their mouth is. To quit a job on principle is a noble act.
