[All] Occupy KW on Wednesday

[Robert Milligan]

Hi Lulu & All,

Thanks for your great report on Foodstock -- I was there also (Guelph  
bus).

  "Occupy Kitchener/Waterloo is going to take place at Waterloo Square  
Oct. 19th 4:30-7:30. The movement started with high school students  
and is now spreading out to other groups. If your on facebook check  
out the event page for Occupy Kitchener."  Realizing that the economy  
is related to both society & environment, I hope that lots of GRENERS  
can attend.(Saturday's St. George Square beginning occupation in  
Guelph was sparse but with very enthusiastic people).


Here is some food for thought which might be considered  part of opur  
Wall Street", etc. education process .:

Economic Collapse The Greatest Scam on Earth.
