Activist Leading ‘Occupy the Rose Parade’ Is a Convicted Thief, 9-11 Truther, and Former Democratic Assembly Politician
They have "float" for the parade too.
It is made of garbage bags.
Rather appropriate.

#OWS is going to the Rose Parade . . .
And at the front of their little parade in LA . . .
They have "float" for the parade too.
It is made of garbage bags.
Rather appropriate.

11/11/11
It is Veteran's Day.
Not just here, but in Europe as well. Originally called Armistice day, it is now called Remembrance day in Europe and Veteran's Day here in the US.
World War One, called then The Great War because they did not know that they would have to number such wars, came to a close on the 11th hour, of the 11the day, of the 11th month of 1918.
There are no surviving Veterans of that awful war. The ages have passed them by and made them a part of our history.
Veteran's Day is now a day of remembrance for all US Veterans of all the Wars that the US has fought.
Every nation that wills to survive must be willing to fight for its survival against hostile nations and forces that would weaken or destroy it. The harsh truth of it is that a nation state must be willing to send its young soldiers into harms way to protect its interest in a hostile world shared with other nations that also have the same obligation to protect themselves.
We must honor those that have been called to preserve our nation. We owe them much.

An Important Explanation Of The Thinking Behind 9-11
We are approaching the ten year anniversary of 9-11.
Ten years is a long time.
As memories fade, it is important for those of us that cannot forget that awful day to remind those that have of what happened - and even more importantly, "why" it happened.
The "Why" of it all has been the subject of much debate and argument over the last ten years. Lee Harris' Al Qaeda's Fantasy Ideology, written in the summer of 2002, offers an explanation that is worth thinking about.

That is just the first paragraph.

"KNOW YOUR ENEMY” is a well-known maxim, but one that is difficult to observe in practice. Nor is the reason for this hard to fathom: If you are my enemy, it is unlikely that I will go very much out of my way to learn to see things from your point of view. And if this is true even in those cases where the conflict is between groups that share a common culture, how much more true will it be when there is a profound cultural and psychological chasm between the antagonists?
That is just the first paragraph.
