While the amount of accumulated trash was quite a bit more than you'd find at the campsites of our delightfully anal-retentive Pacific Northwest Outdoorsmen, it was also not so much as you'd find in a real shantytown, either.

At this point in the Occupy story, I'm somewhat surprised to find myself not at all opposed to building visible urban shantytowns as a form of protest.

What I object to is governing such a shantytown via mandatory consensus, antirepresentationalism, enforcement by consent only, the people's mic, and the rest of the raft of demonstration-organizing practices floated in from the Global Justice Movement.

@14 - I walked by the camp last night and saw unrelenting tidiness everywhere: little piles of raked leaves, tarps neatly folded and stacked, several people on garbage duty.. Definitely neater than any out-in-the-woods campsite I've ever been to.

FWIW

The camp is gone. And don't let the door hit u in the ass.

By the way, is this how Holden thinks the Revolution would have ended, with a giant fuckibg embarrassing back down?

Yes you can you fucking drama queen, you just can't camp and then welcome fucking meth heads to set up shop if your fucked up little commune of crusties, anarchists, hobos, bums, juggalos and only about 4 people who may have their heads screwed on right.

Im sure they'll find some elementary school playground to crash uninvited. If the admins complain, they'll scream back "WERE DOING THIS FOR YOUR CHILDREN!! WHY ARE YOU AGAINST US!!".

The super wealthy will treat us to a blizzard of political ads next year, all funded by shadowy anonymous donors, yet people of modest means aren't even allowed a location to gather and make their voices heard.

That's a stunning double standard.

But I think the word we are looking for would be 'un-eventful'. Or, in a stretch, 'quotidian'.

And bagpipers do, in fact, rule.

IN HELL.
