Yesterday (it's 330 am now) I stopped at an RV with Occupy stuff on it. What got most of my attention was the "Occupy Portland" poster, so my mind was like "These people are from somewhere else! This is a touring RV!" so I was really into looking at the pictures, then! A guy came out (who I assume is the head driver of the RV), and he was smiling and nice. The reason I was staring at it is because I thought no one was in it! I have no reason why I thought that, either. We talked but I felt stupid for staring at the RV, and knowing so little about Occupy, in reality. I told him we had an Occupy thing here, but it kind of went away. I went to get something to eat, and came back with a friend that was in the Occupy here on the phone. They talked, and I have no idea what they said, but I'll probably get feedback later. They wanted to talk to me, which took me by surprise, and the lady of the RV even interviewed me. Of cor, she gave me info on the movement, and their specific part of it being on the road. A really deep thinking journalist guy wrote something nice on the back of the info card. They were all really nice, and friendly. I hope I see them again.
I'm alot more educated on the Occupy movement. Before this I only knew what I saw on the net, as viewed by people recording it from their own point of view. I always find it best to get a personal inside take on things like this, inside of going with what others on the outside of it tell me. I didn't doubt it from the start, tho. I understood it was a massive protest against national and international banking, and other things. As Americans we have the right to protest, and I'm glad to see people coming together to fight injustice!
