IcerocketWhen ground was stood and truth spoken
violence became an inevitability.
Thus is the nature
of that which we are attempting to outgrow.
Knowing that, we must remember:
Neither injury nor death can justify violence.
For violence breeds violence,
and therefore: no change.
Its application will not bring about the
peace and sanity we are seeking.
Only the evolution of love can bring about
the revolution of love.
For we are all in this together
100%
That has been the point all along.

a nice thought!

violence is only a reasonably effective tool when you are the powers that be.
violence among the Occupy movement wouldn't work... the government would love that because they could snuff us out after. In fact, they try real hard to provoke it.
Now... how to make the 99% into 100%? I honestly have a hard time embracing that the police and the businessmen of the financial district are part Occupy. They are the enemy. The goal is for them not to be, but I wonder if it's better to just their palaces crumble and then pick them up afterwards.
