Now Palmer Renewable Energy is attempting to build the air polluting biomass plant anyway!
In August Springfield passed the strongest anti-foreclosure legislation in the country:

I love this video, thanks for sharing. It so aptly illustrates a moving and contrasting montage between that which we have been lead to believe about who we are as a people and a country and that which is historically unfolding before us every day.
yet, in posting related links on faecbook and google +, I am finding the lack of response to all OWS news -- any response at all -- disconcerting.
Have we really become so disengaged? I have never even met any member of the 1% and none of my friends are rich, yet the seeming unwillingness to even comment or show interest, feigned or otherwsie, is tragic. I wonder if I actually know my friends and acquaintances. yet I am willing to bet those same people will rejoice and embrace any changes as the result of this hugely necessary and historical event.
So, instead of hanging out on facebook or G+, I will just hang out here. Meanwhile I am working on a blog post about OWS and my thoughts above, and will hope to get at least one comment.
Peace. Keep up the great work.
Take heart, Mo. We're finding all kinds of interest in OWS and its' countless spin-offs like OccupySpringfield which has called for an occupation of Court Square on Monday starting at 8:30am. Checkout The Enviro Show blog for our ongoing show on Occupy Everywhere!
