    Hello Bram and Merry Christmas,

    I've been hoping to see something like this.

    Tech gremlin - Unfortunately, when I see the page there's a blank black spot where the video should be, and clicking on the void doesn't make it better. FWIW - Firefox on XP.

    Cheers, V.

    Van - I'm running Firefox on OS X 10. An oldish version of Firefox, as my OSX10 is like a point-4 and Firefox has moved on. This is bad news -- does this mean many people won't be able to see it when they go to YouTube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZFMyseSceY

    You're still trespassing. Your organization has no right to occupy privately-held property if said property OWNER says Nyet. But, I wouldn't be surprised if a local yokel Democrat judge ruled othyerwise.. it's the Pittsburgh way.

    Hey, BNY Mellon!! How's that 'Being nice at the beginning' working out for ya?

    Yes Mountaineer (though there are some other and some mitigating considerations), but it is recommended that we forgive those who trespass as we must all ask forgiveness for our respective trespassess. Which most of us do grant, personally, in principle. What we're done forgiving is the permanent structural trespass, and we're assembling to petition our lords and masters for redress on an ongoing basis. We're collecting more stories every day.

    Amen to that. Fracking bankers took my money as a customer to pay bonuses and then took my money as a taxpayer to bailout the company they ran into the dirt while getting bonuses and then took my money as a shareholder once they couldn't hide the truth any longer. I mean, it was a different bank, but the problem is indeed structural. The little guy is the only one to face any consequences no matter who screws up.

    I wanted to tell you I watched it, great video. I liked the OPOA (obligatory Paris of Appalachia) reference.

    "The little guy is the only one to face any consequences no matter who screws up." Yes. This is the thing.

    If the Tea Party showed up tomorrow in "Peoples Park" and wanted to camp out and start protesting Obama do you think the "OWS" would still let the "people" use the park?

    Anon 9:18 - I have a feeling: the Anarchists would be all for it, the Socialists would love the opportunity to debate, and the Progressives ... yes, probably would find some sort of problem with the Tea Partiers.
