People are coming to me....
I've long been known as the local political junkie, the folks at work are all well aware of my feelings about single payer, school reform, social security, etc...

But now instead of simply nodding their heads and walking away people are being the subject to me.

"What was this about Occupy Oakland?"

"What is the meaning for this term?"

"How can one party say one thing and the other party say the opposite?"

"Why are the police being called in when people are just sitting there?"

"How can you have a movement without any leaders?"

Things are finally being to move!:bounce:

4. Good for you! We get a few questions too but mostly from other progressives.
The local haute-bourgeoisie we know avoid political questions however since they don't like the possible answers we'd give them.

12. It's nice that people listen to you rather than dismissing you or arguing with you.
