	♥ 11:52am egould: ↳ Song: "Build Me Up Buttercup" by "Ripple Blast Singers" Based on the group name, it sounds like kind of a “one off” recording. Some friends that rented some studio time and made a record.
	♥ 11:53am drr: I think the benevolent folks who look out for my tiny nest egg reallocated into bonds and other safer investments than US stocks because I didn't lose a lot.
	11:53am dk50b: Most events asked for pre-registration. Here's Essex County www.mobilize.us...
	11:54am eric the hat: Honestly, everything happening now is what I’ve always expected. Although, figured it was gonna happen much sooner. Also never planned on the internet style propaganda machine. Yeesh. That’s why we get high, cause ya never know when yr gonna go….peace

	♥ 11:58am Dano59: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @11:57 this should show your local and also virtual protest events. www.mobilize.us...
	11:58am Marie in Chicago: How crazy is it that most people's retirement funds are now in the stock market, which can totally tank. And, who doesn't think that they are going to try to cut social security? They're already going for Medicaid. This is all hands on deck
	11:58am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Hold On Tight" by "Rookie" Mike's metal show

	12:02pm eric the hat: Hells yeah. Swing low. :)
	12:03pm Mr. Jones: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:01 "Mother & Child Reunion" was the name of a dish on a Chinese restaurant menu which inspired Paul Simon to write the song. It contained both chicken and egg.
