I atttended the Occupy Seattle event at the Westlake Center Saturday. Contrary to many media reports, there is no lawlessness, anarchy, unwashed bodies, Stalinists, or freaks. What I did find was the 99%. It was a wonderful crowd, that I felt perfectly at home with. People, were friendly, courteous and respectful. A good mix of elderly (that would be me), young and middle aged made up the vast crowd. The one demographic that I felt was a little underrepresented was the middle aged folks. Perhaps they were too busy working two jobs and raising children while fighting with banks and health insurance companies to come and protest.
I was proud to "assemble" with these Americans and "petition the government to redress our grievances."
