And I love this:

“This is what we do already, “ he explained: Build community, help neighbors, and create a world without the help of finance. Horst said, “We know capitalism is broken, so we have already been focused on organizing to take care of our own needs.” He sees Occupy Sandy as political ideas executed on a practical level.


They are teaching the world that Capitalism is a farce as making this a better world for a maximum number of people.

They are doing all this without charge. Compare these efforts to the Bush gang during Katrina who saw it only as another opportunity to profit from. Barbara Bush eg, made a donation, but ONLY if it went to buy her son's stupid educational program.

And while all these wonderful people are not even thinking about money, but focusing on lives, we read about some who are taking advantage of people's needs, charging hundreds of dollars to rent a room, to ride a cab according to Anderson Cooper last night.

You can see why the Predatory Capitalists hate OWS. They show them up, they shatter their lies that everything has a monetary price, that nothing can get done without someone making a profit from it.

Good for Slate for writing this article.
