I am an Occupier ...

I worked for many years, many of which were inclusive of undesirable conditions ...but I did not complain, nor protest.  There were times I had next to nothing, and certainly not any gadgetry to help keep me in touch with others like myself.  But that is the difference ...the others who were like myself, wondering if we'd have a job, wondering if we'd be able to make it, had a different mindset.  And now I can at least be somewhat proud to say,  "I am an Occupier".

I "occupy" my home.  I am retired, and I am thankful to God for what I have.  I know many who have less ...but those in our country who have less, have more than in most countries.  I don't understand why there are so many protests in our country ...though I'm aware there is always wrong that goes on that could be protested about.  Yet, it is still better here than in other countries where there are protests.

The only countries that I see mostly exempt from major protests, are where there is a communist government ...and there protests can lead to their own violent death.  Yet, in this country of ours , we can be free to protest ...but should we be free to destroy?

If the smoke clears, and we can see clearly, we would see that we've perhaps become worse than those we protest against.

The only truly organized government today is communism.  Organized repression; organized violence and control ...organized stripping of freedom, that we take for granted.

Yes, I am an Occupier.  So, what 'occupies' my thoughts, my values, my actions?  How solid am I?

In my home, I'm solid like a rock.
