How does he manage to stay in touch with the common people when he's like, totally famous and stuff?

I found myself in a flashback from what people would imagine Berkeley would be like in the 60's - communal living, free love, organic food, drug use, extreme involvement in politics and community, concern for your fellow man, generosity and love for all things, including me!

So his fat ass finally got some pussy and suddenly he's in love with occupy wall street?

"People told me they lost their lap tops, cell phones, tents, sleeping bags - in fact everything they owned except the clothes on their backs.

I could not help but feel God-awful for these people, as they already have so little. They are so poor."


To be poor and be able to afford lap tops, cell phones, tents and sleeping bags.

Here's your assignment: Write an extended article about other people, their views, and their actions. Begin every other paragraph and every other sentence with the word "I" because you are, after all, writing about other people.

Trolltastic find! As much as I was pro-OccupySF, it wasn't as rainbowy as he painted it. Still, he is right about those who had nothing who then had something, independent of the laptop owners. When the homeless were there to get access to food, tents, portapotties, they also had a purpose and sense of belonging.

You know, I was a very poor student at one point, but I still managed to have all of those things - because they didn't cost me anything. Cell phone a double hand-me-down, laptop which was second hand from my sister, who gave it to me for free because it probably wasn't worth $50 by then, back-pack which I'd had from school, tent and sleeping bag which was given to me as a Christmas present because I liked hiking (one of the cheapest hobbies, if you don't get the high end gear).

I think you know jack shiat about being poor, and jack shiat about the value of things.

I think you don't know about being poor:
