Our eldest son...

[GTurck]

who works in the "Sears" tower in Chicago has been interviewing, photographing and generally supporting the Occupy Chicago protesters for weeks now. Yesterday he told us that he is writing a play for the group: loosley based on Dickens "A Christmas Carol". The group accepted his offer and will produce, direct and find actors for the performance sometime during the Christmas season. I hope that DU'ers in the area will try to see it and support the group that is living small so that we can think about how to re-invent ourselves into a healthier and more humane society.:party:

4. Timeless

Last time I saw The Christmas Carol just a few years ago I was reminded and surprised at how relevant the story is today, if not moreso than it was in Dickens' time.

5. I already see Rahm as Scrooge.

He needs to wake the fuck up about OWS; he's on the wrong side of history on this one.

9. Congrats to you son and --

I love the way you put that:

the group that is living small so that we can think about how to re-invent ourselves into a healthier and more humane society

Very poetic and very beautiful. And very true.
