Now THIS is a picture! This protest was just the latest, and possibly most spectacular yet...

On Saturday over 1000 Americans laid their bodies down on a San Francisco beach to spell out “TAX THE 1%.” This protest was just the latest, and possibly most spectacular yet, in the wave of protests that have swept the nation since protesters occupied Wall Street, launching the “We are the 99%” movement.

(If this has been seen before I do apologize, but I thought it was pretty awe inspiring.)

40. Yup, that is the same beach --

4. What a fabulous photo

The bodies are not laid down on the beach however, it's beach towels, but that's better since the standing bodies add texture and dimension

[Hell Hath No Fury]

41. We did lay down for several shots --

stood up for others, and then did am amazing shot at the edge of the shoreline -- will try to dig that one up. :)


On edit: Found it!

37. Gives you some street cred?

You can say, "For a brief shining moment, I, too, was part of the 1%."

Might come in handy in a job interview some day, who knows? ;)

In any case, I'm proud of you guys. It's a great picture of some real patriots. :patriot:
