I came down to the Summit. I arrived early and planned to leave after the Lawrence Lessig book signing and before the 11:30 section started. Suggestion !3 - get coffee started way early. It takes over an hour for those machines to heat up. Unfrtunately, I had watched most of this video: @Google: Lawrence Lessig: Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress—and a Plan to Stop It on YouTube and the talk was basically the same. Still some interesting concepts - cross-partisan started to sink in. I let during the questions. I counted between 70-80 people at 11:40.

My second visit to OccupyBoston was a totally unremarkable GA for 5 hours on a Sunday in late December

My first visit was on the original witching hour on December 8th. That was extremely heartening. It was chaotic, but a mass of humans with a clarity of purpose based one an awareness of and courage to bring the problem(s) to the forefront of the conversation. I arrived at Dewey from a Steve Pinker talk at about 8:30 and when it was apparent the police were not moving that night, I got the last red line train back to the burbs at 12:39AM.

I used to think that education was the main problem with America. I think corruption is the most important now. What's up with Feb 28? And with all those bios on the how about you? Also, I turned off Citizensunited@lists.occupyboston.org email because the digest is forwarding almost every email straight-away - as opposed to daily. Is there an Alpha GEEK here?
