As a veteran occupier, though not in this case but for 3 days on New Haven Green for both the 40th & 45th anniversaries of our bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki and for a months-long occupation on Yale's Beinecke Plaza for divestment during South Africa's Apartheid Regime, I have been urging Occupiers to occupy themselves.

There are many hours to a day and no one does this alone. While contributing much time at the encampments, I earned a living at a senior citizen newspaper, volunteered making public access t.v. for the paper & of city government meetings and to satisfy my own funny bone and also helped organize the early Greens here. Occasionally, I even slept at home.

Sure, I had to rub shoulders with ruder people than me but at least I knew that I was working to empower us all.

I notice that New Haven Occupiers were given a building within which to build a business and to those who scream "Capitalism!", I say, "Yes, to meet human needs not corporate greed. There's differences!"

Considering the reported bathroom habits of some of the protesters, doesn't the word "occupied" appear when a toilet stall is in use.....along with the word "vacant" which may also be descriptive of the protests?
