Now this is Happening. Government, Non-Governmental Agenicies, and Religious groups can't make it happen, but We The People can.

Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination.

Happy Election - VOTE!

Except all those that can!!

.........as if a few dozen "occupy" people of good will are going to save everyone...good on them for doing something - but they aren't any better or worse than the thousands of others who are doing likewise whether because it is their job (Firecrews, etc) or because they are volunteers for various relief agencies or just looking out for their neighbours without needing to be in the news!
