Subject: RE: BS: Occupy Wall Street; The 99%
How is the idea of Occupying foreclosed houses supposed to work?
What's the deal with Occupying empty lots?

Is this stepping from Right to Assemble
to Civil Disobedience?


I live in a very small town and we have several empty lots. They don't seem overly offensive to me.
Is the Occupy Empty Lots thing something that only makes sense in built-up cities?

I understand that the crazy foreclosures are awful, but I don't understand the Occupying thing. Being in the yard of a house doesn't hamper paperwork, does it?

I'd appreciate it if somebody could explain this to me.
