Occupy Wall Street: Lemony Snicket's view

I really hope you have read books written by Lemony Snicket. Despite the candy bar sounding name, the man's cleverly intelligent. He incorporates humor into his dark tales of characters searching for goodness.

I think you should read this. It's Thirteen Observations made by Lemony Snicket while watching Occupy Wall Street from a Discreet Distance. Such truth. Click here.

My favorites are observations 3, 4, 7 and 11.

11. Historically, a story about people inside impressive buildings ignoring or even taunting people standing outside shouting at them turns out to be a story with an unhappy ending.

4. People who say money doesn’t matter are like people who say cake doesn’t matter—it’s probably because they’ve already had a few slices.

I was in Portland on Saturday to cheer for Natalie's 10K race, and saw the close up view of Occupy Portland. It looked similar to trying to cram ten families into one camping spot. I joked with Natalie that I was going to start an Occupy School Parking Lots movement, whereupon we won't leave until there are 25 or fewer students per classroom, because much about our educational system is just wrong. What do you think about "occupying" places?
