Oh the cab driver's making money...the meter goes even in traffic. Maybe I should ask these people who scoff at Occupiers for a job, they seem to have all kinds of jobs to offer, the way they're talking... | |

@? : Every protest I've been to that's blocked routes has immediately cleared for anything with flashing lights. And we've always cleared intersections to let bus & light rail flow through. | |

Night Al:
Occupiers should organize nationally and nominate Dennis Kucinich as their presidential candidate. READ his platform on issues... http://kucinich.us/issues If you aren't registered to vote, and vote for a viable candidate, you are fighting a losing battle. When I talk to an occupier, they just speak of their disdain for the status quo but offer up no real solutions. Many are not registered to vote nor plan to. Sad. | |

Our grill menu is corn on the cob, roasted potatoes (with our garden herbs) and marinated chicken breast. Oh, and beer brats to save for lunches. | |

Who the hell wants a job anyhow?! Fuck work! Everyone that says folks should get a job should really search inside themselves and think if they really actually LIKE their job! | |

I did all the prep work, but Philo's the grill man. It's too damn hot outside. | |

Night Al:
Hey Clay! Have you ever heard in your many conversations, an occupier spokesman offer a candidate choice for leadership? I really want to know. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:19pm
KevinC BK:
my problem is that, like other OWS sympathizers/participants I am self-employed and take work that I actually like | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:19pm
kat330:
@KevinC BK: I did that and decided on extreme frugality managing on freelance work and savings. Lots of folks like me doing an "early retirement" that really isn't. | |

Night Al - No. Occupy holds to that no leaders thing. | |

brycepunk:
This has been a fascinating listen. Fantastic mixing. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:22pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Night Al: As Occupiers are reluctant to speak on behalf of the movement, only for themselves (the core chants of Occupy are the only real common bonds, and that's what it's all about). Individual Occupiers have expressed approval of Kucinich, Ron Paul, Greens candidates, some even Obama (though those deep in the movement almost never do). | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:22pm
Clay:
Scary thought, Drew. All that rectangle time. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:23pm
Night Al:
What a waste. | |

Clay:
TY Bryce, I actually struggled with it mightily and feel it was rushed to completion .... but .... thanks!!! | |

Thu. 5/3/12 6:24pm
Matt from Springfield:
Hi Caryn! @Drew: Unless you want to forage for food, all day, every day for the rest of your life, ultimately most people would prefer a job. At least you get days off with a job! | |

Fair Labor ?:
@Clay/FMU staff: Which do you appreciate more for their sacrifices, your FMU listeners/commenters who do so on UNPAID time that could either be used for other leisure endeavors / freelance earnings OR your FMU listeners/commenters doing so on-the-job while being paid by "the suits" (or worse by taxpayers) while they listen/comment here? | |

Night Al:
I have asked Dennis and Elizabeth Kucinich to consider running as a 3rd party candidate. No response from my letter as yet. He will be unemployed here shortly. His wife is GREAT also. I concur with his ENTIRE platform. It would be AWESOME if ALL occupiers would get behind him in an organized national movement. Any thoughts listeners? | |

whole newest Immortal Tech album is great | |

Romney:
Prettyplease, start a third paty to the left of Obama and really get it ramped up. Thanks! | |

Thu. 5/3/12 6:30pm
Nader:
Yeah, that should work... | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:31pm
david:
everyone's got a "occupy should do _____." It's mostly people who don't participate in occupy, have nowhere to go politically, so they look to occupy for all the answers. | |

|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:32pm
Philo Gristle:
Much as I like Kucinich, I'd like to see a candidate who can win, and not help Romney squeeze in. It's a sad state of affairs, but I'm not seeing an easy solution. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:33pm
Marmalade kitty:

I'm referring to the Cy Coleman 'Reverie in Topaz'. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:34pm
Night Al:
Ditto Philo....I'll vote for Obama again just to keep the GOP out. Unless I see a viable alternative that has a chance. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:34pm
Philo Gristle:
@Caryn Fingers crossed! Had a gov't job for almost a decade there myself.... good perks (39 days of vacation per yr. as opposed to 10 I I have now in the US, after 7 yrs in the same job). | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:34pm
Clay:
Glad you are all hear and appreciate it. You know, I am learning as I go. it's all I can do to hang in with some of the intelligent people I talk to. Sorry i interrupted Debussy, Josh!!! Ya mean Cy didn't write it? I like that Lune tune he wrote. Thanks Al! Caryn /// Hope it went well. Glad you showed up here! | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:34pm
Matt from Springfield:
@david: If you have nowhere to go politically, but dislike the status quo, attending an Occupy event is what you should do. Taking action is doing something about it. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:35pm
kat330:
Great news, Caryn! To Fair labor's ? point though, there's less disposable income to contribute to FMU and other charities when on-the-job productivity is compromised so that either those human resource wastes are passed onto the consumer or passed onto the taxpayers. Oh, and there's no such true thing as efficient multi-tasking research has proven. | |

Poor Libertarian believes that neo con Rominee is an answer. In the race of bad and worse what is a true believer to do? | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:38pm
david:
exactly, Matt. if one wants something to be part of occupy, one has to do the work, not find it prepackaged for consumption or on a cable tv channel guide... | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:40pm
Night Al:
Reality people...you can protest all you want...if you don't go to your precinct on election day and vote....you did nothing. That's how you protest in this country, like it or not. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:41pm
Clay:
Glad you were there Kevin. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:42pm
Night Al:
also...if you vote for a democrat president, but don't vote for democrat Reps and Senators....you just created a lame duck president. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:42pm
david:
Night Al I hear you but that flies in the face of US history, and thousands who sacrificed their lives to very palpably make this country better | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:43pm
kat330:
@Night Al: Kucinich has always impressed me. Here's what has me concerned: I voted for Nader (wrote in since Indiana didn't put him on the ballot) in the infamous election stolen by Bush from Gore. Probably the guilt heaped on us Naderites wasn't justified, but it still has me worried for any next such time. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:43pm
KevinC BK:
beg to differ, night al that's not protest at all actually it's called voting and it legitimizes the system. I'm not arguing against it its actually quite useful at times, my problem is that voting happens so little. It would be lovely to have more community control... | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:45pm
david:
of course everyone should vote, but without illusion, and not to the exclusion of other forms of political engagement | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:45pm

Yeah ...i was in the Army back in 1982....now I'm against the military industrial complex with a passion. There will be no revolution that changes are present system. YOU FREAKING GOTTA VOTE PEOPLE. The Kucinich's are your only hope...everyone else is a corporation shill crony. | |

Minarchist:
Go Clay! Turn my iPod into a proper transistor radio. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:49pm
Caryn:
@KevinC: true, voting might not be considered a protest, but not voting is not a viable form of protest either. If you don't vote, no-one goes "wow, what a powerful statement". You've just wasted one of the ways you have of influencing things even a little. Certainly there are plenty of other ways to be politically active, but not voting has no impact other than possibly allowing someone you loathe to get into office. | |

kat330...that's why I'm trying to get the OWS fighters to get organized behind him in an AWESOME cohesive movement. EVERYONE should read his issues page on his website and start stumping for him like I have. There are MANY disconcerted people who have lost a little faith in Obama as well as the rest. | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:50pm
Matt from Springfield:
Jim Croce in the dumpster! I would expect WFMU to pitch him (or smash on the Air). | |

"trying to get the OWS fighters to get organized behind him," how specifically have you been working to doing this, Al? | |
|
Thu. 5/3/12 6:52pm
Night Al:
KevinC BK... if only my friend...I'm just playing the game. A change like that will be incremental if at all. Small steps. This isn't revolutionary war era.....reality is reality. | |
