Democracy
I smile as I listen to media wonks rationalize their hesitancy to cover the Occupy Boston protests. "There was no one person to talk to, " whined one local media aristocrat. That is the point!

Occupy Boston is a democracy, as far as I can tell. This is very powerful. As major cities around the planet kick off Occupy demonstrations today, I smile in appreciation of the basic human desire to belong and to be equal while looking to bring along all who wish to join. This is the precious quality of the Occupy movement in its infancy. I hope this is not lost as it confronts the corrupting influence of a materialistic and hedonistic world, fueled by a sensationalist pro-corporate media.
