Nice try, Wesley, but you miss the boat again. It's not about Canadians or Americans or Mexicans or Libyans or Israelis or Palestinians or, or, or. It's about the plunder and rape of the entire planet and that planet's people. It's about a system that enacted laws that allow corporations to be persons. It's about 3,000,000 home foreclosures in your country--illegal home foreclosures.

Are you not concerned that 49,000,000 citizens of the US live below the poverty line?

Are you not concerned that about 50% of your representatives in Congress are millionaires?

Your remark reminds me of the following:

'"You know you never defeated us on the battlefield", said the American colonel.

His adversary pondered this remark a moment. "That may be so," he replied, "but it is also irrelevant."

That conversation occurred on 25 April 1975 in Hanoi between Colonel Harry G. Summers, Jr., then Chief, Negotiations Division, U.S. Delegation, Four Party Joint Military Team and Colonel Tu, Chief of the North Vietnamese Delegation.'

Yes, I am Canadian. Yes, you are American. When someone moves in to the house or apartment beside you and that someone makes explosives, I suppose you would then remember what you said in this context and say nothing about it to the authorities, correct? I mean, they aren't doing that in your house, right, and so it's not your business?

The OWS have printed a manifesto. It goes beyond the borders of the USA. It goes beyond the borders of North America. It pertains to human conscience and human rights, not political ideologies as generated by governments that are no longer responsive to the needs of average people. When the US dollar goes up or down, it affects the entire world. Telling me it isn't my business (or LH's business) is not only disingenuous, it's also puerile. That's what you seem not to grasp.

You are right. I am Canadian. It is also irrelevant.
