Eviction of Occupy Wall Street and other Encampments

“The volatile truth of our words must continually betray the inadequacy of the residual statement.”

Henry David Thoreau, father of the concept of civil disobedience (though others came before him) wrote this in his book, Walden.  How true and prudent a statement it is, in light of the recent evictions of Occupy encampments in the past 48 hours.  The quote is passionate and salutes the effort to fight for what is right.  The Occupy movement has a powerful voice which speaks a “volatile truth” against the “residual statement,” the statement we have so long been brainwashed to follow; that we cannot be heard and/or helped, except through the intervention of the 1%.  The most important word in this quote, though, is “continually.”  We must speak the truth against this statement continually.  We must make our concerns known and righted continually.  And we must do so by occupying peacefully continually.  Stay strong all Occupy movements around the globe.  We stand in solidarity!
