Ok, so Blogger has mysteriously returned my blog, but I’ll keep this one open as a standby, simply because I have lost faith in B;logger but I will give them one more chance. So, until further notice I will be here

Thank you for your patience.
Occupy is Heating Up
Posted by on November 17, 2011
I love a good protest. I love the fact that people will assemble peacefully to make a point about something they are passionate about. This Occupy revolution has grown so much in the 2 months since it’s inception in New York, that it is almost impressive. Instead, it’s becoming embarrassing.
As I sit here watching CNN who is covering these protests throughout the country live, I see protesters throwing cigarette butts at the cops. What’s with that? Is that in the “Peaceful Protest 101″ handbook?
The plan today of this leaderless group is to disrupt traffic in many cities throughout the country. One possible plan is to storm the Brooklyn Bridge and shut down traffic in and out of the city. Oh, that will solve the financial inequality issue real fast.
Any small business that may be unlucky enough to be located near the protesters, is surely loosing business. Good move.
Isn’t it true that most of the “Traffic” would be 99 percenters trying to get to or from work?
Protesters should have a plan. To stay on point they need to assemble peacefully, not with the mob mentality I am seeing on TV as I write this.

Oh, just let me say what a pain in the butt “Blogger” has given me.
It took me about 3 years to get comfortable getting around the blogger site and here I am fumbling around wordpress , having no idea what I am doing.
This is basically me testing this site, bare with me.
No more Blogger for me.

This is my first post here at wordpress. After having blogged at “Blogger” for 3 years, today I learned upon signing on that my blog NO LONGER EXISTS.
That was a bit of a surprise. Anyway, wordpress seems to have welcomed me with open arms so I begin again.
After I figure out all the buttons and gadgets hopefully I will continue blogging frequently. Until then………..
