It seems to me that a lot of people are passing away recently (within the last year). I understand this is a symptom of getting older, similar to how so many of my peers are getting married and starting families. The older we grow, the older those around us grow, the more people we meet, […]

A founder of ‘Occupy Wall Street’ talks about movement’s origin and what comes next | The Raw Story. I just wanted to share these two sections because I believe this “founder” (dangerous to pick out individuals, imo) does a great job of capturing the essence.
