It's a long, long road, From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there, Why not share
And the load, Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go, His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear, We'll get there
For I know, He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

THE HOLLIES - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

Occupy together.

Wall Street is just a parasite on the actual labor and investments of average Americans.
Banks play with futures, debt paper, complex financial instruments, and other peoples incomes.

pepper spray Pike - not so much
"Faculty vote at Calif. university where students were pepper-sprayed backs chancellor"
http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/higher...

Members of the University of California, Davis Academic Senate had two weeks to vote on a motion that would have expressed “no-confidence” in Chancellor Linda Katehi’s leadership after the widely condemned pepper-spray incident.

The final tally showed faculty members voted 697-312 against the motion, officials said.

In a companion motion, faculty voted 586-408 in favor of expressing confidence in Katehi’s leadership but condemning the use of pepper spray during the Nov. 18 incident.

After the incident, Katehi apologized to the campus community for the “appalling use of pepper spray.” The Greek-born chancellor said she had ordered police to remove the tents but avoid arrests and violence.

During the voting period, philosophy professor David Copp urged his colleagues to approve the no-confidence measure. “A wise leader would not have ordered the police to act against non-violent demonstrators,” he wrote in a statement supporting the motion.

faculty voted 586-408 in favor of expressing confidence in Katehi’s leadership but condemning the use of pepper spray during the Nov. 18 incident? ... Wow, what a conflated question.. you have to say you still like her to be able to condemn the pepper spray incident.

but they didn't have to go on record condemning the use of pepper spray.
perhaps they would have prefered a uniformed matre d' accompanying the police and dispensing the pepper spray from a trendy wooden canister?
