OCCUPY, EDUCATION, AND REPORTING

As is true of the two links below, much of the recent news reporting has been concerned with the “occupy” movement. Linden is part of the almost all inclusive group that has not a clue what is the reason behind the effort: the only list of demands he saw, perhaps a dozen strong, was asinine beyond description. Surely it was a joke. Surely with the large number of educators and those considered to be highly educated involved, there should be clearly stated objectives.
It is logical to believe that it is largely concerned with the lack of jobs which touches every level of our society. The one thing most noticeable to Linden has been the lack of reporting covering how this blight may be traced back to those who most strongly supported providing lending to those who were unable to repay. The names of democrats Senator Chris Dodd of CT and Representative Barney Frank of MA come to Linden’s mind.

LINDEN’S LIFE
Monday found me going to the bathroom around 5:00 a.m. and then going back to bed to toss and turn until the alarm went off at 6:45: the snooze alarm was engaged several times and it was almost 8:00 when feet hit the floor again. Perhaps as a result, I was a deadhead all day long…couldn’t sit down without wanting to nod off.
After breakfast, I drove to Avon to get an ink cartridge refilled, then by the church and post office. I had a sandwich at lunchtime then Paul called to see if I wanted to go somewhere…we went to Culver’s and I just had some very good ice cream. We had a good visit and I did nothing else of great moment the rest of the day.
