I've been watching the #OccupyWallStreet reports with interest and a certain amount of deja vu. Seeing an "Eat The Rich" poster reminded me of the Yippies in the late 60s and early 70s. I feel like the current movement needs a hefty dose of that old school surrealism. Perhaps we can expect somebody to try and get a pig into the republican party primaries, an attempt to levitate the pentagon, or to throw money onto the floor of the NYSE.
The UK BBC interview with the fake "independent currency trader" was a beautiful piece of theatre. So was the LifeNeutral(tm) campaign against the war industry. Perhaps we need a "Skateboarders Against Corruption" group to echo the mid 80s "Skateboarders Against the Nazis" that appeared during the anti-Racism protests.10-16 Musley Ln, Ware, Hertfordshire SG12 7
