Heave out and trice up! Occupiers stow your tents, clean your messes and go to work.

As philosophers who follow the old German Bildung tradition might say, "Learn the customs and mores of your local community, take a job that contributes to that community, and then if you wish, further educate yourself in preparation for making the world a better place to live."

It might be well to also consider the Tea Partiers. While certainly not in lockstep, Tea Party people unite in supporting the U. S. Constitution along with the laws of the land. They also believe in government that is close to the people and is as lean as possible.

I believe Occupiers seem unsure whom they want to reform. Is it big corporations, or is it incompetent government, dishonest individuals who have lied in order to get real estate loans for which they do not qualify, or is it the many others who pushed real estate sales for profit without regard for honesty or ethics?

Occupiers, as you organize your thoughts, why not ensure that what you do contributes to our community?
