Danny Glover Speaks To Occupy Oakland (please mirror)

[myjizzureye]

I find it much easier to support a movement that does not have people banging bongo drums. It seems bongo drums have some sort of magical power that endows their owners with some kinda strange sense of entitlement without the work ethic or the willingness to start from the bottom and work their way up like everybody else.

I wonder how rich Danny Glover is. Just asking.

[gabiotta]

@GumbaMasta

Rich enough that the changes that are being asked for are likely to cost him piles of cash.

[gabiotta]

@AirstripOneProle

Well, quite.

[PSNBloodraid]

@AirstripOneProle What does that have to do with anything?

When he said "Human Evolution" he was simply talking about just that. It's no secret that technology and society has evolved over the years.

@AirstripOneProle

If anyone CAN, AmeriCANS CAN, viewed through the intolerant lens of European inadequacy, so quickly becomes, If anyone CAN AmeriCUNTS CAN'T.

Although, I wouldn't say that on a public forum or any of the pages that could be traced back to me.

[Salment]

Nice speech, but i am always at a loss when speakers bring up talk of some idealistic past "where people mattered". Presumably it would have to be after the success of the civil rights movement, and before reagan. So our goal is to return to the seventies?

[gabiotta]

@Salment

I think we can forgive him, no? This is an emotional appeal, not a finely honed manifesto.

Good old Danny

[TheDramaPimps]

He aint too old for this shit

[gabiotta]

@TheDramaPimps

Well, quite.

[HulkSmashPunyHumans]

what he said is My America.

The America that I will fight for and DIE for.

[DarthAzabrush]

I'd say Danny Glover for president but the last time that happened the Earth split in two.

[woofalot13]

@DarthAzabrush HA HA

[xxxild]

Right on!

[phenixwryter]

Right on, Danny!

Thanks for sharing this. What a great way to start my day. : )

Brilliant. It is creative commons enabled. Feel free to mirror it as well.:)

[6stringbadger]

Thumbs up for Danny's enthusiasm. Lets hope it's contagious.

[PSNBloodraid]

@AirstripOneProle He wasn't talking about biological evolution. Evolution does not strictly refer to Darwin's theory.

It does worry me a bit that so many occupies are not getting enough funds. Please put your money where your mouth is, celebities, I don't have that much more to spare without cutting off my communication.

[skinnywhop87]

okay, i have a serious question... (BTW I support OWS so far)

I would like to know when is destruction of property or a full blown riot acceptable?

Now the Warsaw uprising is seen as a noble act of violence, whereas the London riots are seen as a bad thing

So I would like to know, when is rioting acceptable? On an objective level rather than subjective

[gabiotta]

@skinnywhop87

I think you'll find that history gets to make that decision. Generally you get the boot, truncheon or bullet regardless how noble you are.. they only make you noble later, in the books.
