Occupy Wall Street....REVISED!

Initially, I found the Occupy Wall Street movement refreshing, even hopeful, although they didn't have an agenda (or rather, too many agendas, some that were too fantastic to ever be addressed). 

However, recently in Oakland, California some of the "group" became violent but not in a positive way (to bring a cause into being) - rather, in a vandalistic way. 

I have, therefore, changed my mind about them and have nothing further to say.

Places I Have Been and Have Not Been......

A friend sent me this and I find it quite WITTY.  I might add, I have been in Continent many, many times!


I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.
I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.
I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there.
I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and mostly work.
I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.
I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.
I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.
Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.
One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart!
At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!
And, sometimes I think I am in Vincible but life shows me I am not!
I have been in Deepdoodoo many times; the older I get, the easier it is to get there.

Netanyahu doesn't "get it EITHER!"......

Palestine joined UNESCO as a "state" - U.S. thought it could  challenge this decision by witholding funds from UNESCO.  Palestine WILL join many, many other U.N. organizations.  Canadians have already decided to FUND UNESCO (MANY in the world are in favour of Palestine being it's own independent state).  U.S. and Israel feel that the ONLY way Palestine can achieve independence is through "talks" with Israel.  Well, they've talked and they've talked and they've talked.

And what did Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu do today???  He decreed that MORE Israeli houses would be built in Palestine-occupied areas, claiming "we have the RIGHT to do this" - yes, I suppose you do.  And you also have the right to throw a nuclear bomb into Palestine, but you appear (in the eyes of the world) so STAID, so STOIC - you will not negotiate with the Palestinians (your answer is "to build more Israeli houses in their land").....and so it is not the least bit wrong to say - ISRAEL - you don't WANT to have peace talks with the Palestinians.  You want everything status quo and hope U.S.A. will back you on this.

Palestine has a RIGHT to be independent and you don't show your "olive branch of peace" by building more Israeli houses in their territory!!

Don't You "Get It"????

Palestine wants to be an independent nation.  It is TIRED of the unsuccessful "talks" with Israel.  It has joined UNESCO.  U.S. responded very badly by threatening to cut off all funds to UNESCO (and I hope Palestine will join MANY other U.N. organizations!!)

BUT - what did Israel just do???  They decided (for spite?? - after this decision) to build MORE Israeli HOUSING in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Are we starting to see why the Palestinians MIGHT be frustrated????  If Israel had wanted a peaceful resolution, they would've done so many decades ago before it came to this ugly point.

So - at this point, we hope Palestine JOINS as MANY U.N. organizations as necessary for Isreal to finally PUT attention.  Israel has hidden far too many decades under the petticoats of American "blessings" - the rest of the world has developed and grown, and most now support an independent Palestine.
