Well DU has become almost impossible [View all]

with the swarm, even on ignore.

So I have noticed something interesting. There are a LOT LESS original posts, with ORIGINAL analysis. I don't know if you all have noticed this.

Personally I have taken my analysis off site, to my own blog. As far as DU is concerned atta boy or very short posts is all that I am still in the mood of doing.

The difference between the crisis in 2008 and today is well, noticeable.

As far as Occupy and other systems of reform, I fear the final confrontation is near. Or as near as it has been since the American Civil War. The instability in DC is just palpable.

If you all want to follow analysis, well, Occupy SD Labor Committee Facebook page, and my facebook page has links to them. And that is all I will say.

I wish all luck, because as things get hard, worst case, using the web will become harder. Yes, we are in some ways there.

So good luck.

You mean if someone posts Libertarian or Anarchist screeds? VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #28

Perhaps because of the subject matter? VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #40
