Occupy Wall Street - NOW I Understand

For a bit of amusement, I occasionally read the minutes from the Occupy groups.  Nearly all the the minutes from their General Assembly and now this new Spokes Council (which may or may not hold the purse strings depending upon which day of the week it is) are quite entertaining and make you realize those "interviews" on the street are actually are geniuses compared to the General Assembly and Spoke Council meetings.

HOWEVER, I did find one idea this afternoon that should be implemented the world over.  It's from the 11/25/11 minutes of Spokes Council where they report from the various working groups.  The PoCC is the group representing the People of Color Caucus. 

Below is part of a transcript of the "minutes" from that group.

"*PoCC: Mon + Wed at 4pm, only women get to talk and men have to listen"

Wouldn't you love to know how many men end up at their Monday and Wednesday meetings at 4pm? 

I'm guessing zero.

But it's a brilliant idea.  Think I'll try this at home.

I love the cartoon. I really liked it when Moore was denying that he was part of the 1%. I don't remember where I saw snippets of the interview.

And NO comment about the PoCC idea George?

Come ON Man, it's GENIUS.

Damn I didnt know Jojo was in the PPoC that explains alot.

Rita said...

What about "men have to listen" did you not understand CnC?

Rita said...

All I gotta say is that those Women of Color are a lot smarter than us Colorless Women.

But look out guys, cause us Colorless Women are catching up, QUICK!.

I'd say a bunch of men will show up...it's where the chicks are.

Rita said...

Why are all you "men" talking when you're all supposed to be listening? Dang, you can't follow even ONE simple direction?

Why am I not surprised?

Coffeypot said...

Did you say something? Sorry! I was looking for the chicks...

Rita said...

Coffey, would you be insulted if I figured you would be the LAST man I would assume who would be listening?

No, Wait, I confess. I figured you would tie that race with my big brother CnC. But then again, he's learned that he can never outwit me and you....well, maybe you'll figure it out sometime soon, but I have my doubts.

Poor Judy.

Oh wait, I left out Bobby, my husband. He hasn't figured it out in 20 years, so you may beat him to the punch yet.

And poor George is only 23 or so. Please don't persuade him that he will ever have the upper hand or you will lead the poor boy to a life of misery.

Hey, I'm 27. I don't think there are too many men willing to attend a meeting where they have to listen/pretend they are listening and not get to speak. I know that I'm not going.

Rita said...

Sorry George. Sounds like it's apparently already four years too late for you too. The meeting didn't call for the men to "pretend to listen", you HAVE to listen.

I think this is one working group of the OWS that are brilliant. Finally one of the groups make sense and you men want to argue with it.

And to think we can vote. . .

Rita-

I'm with Coffeepot on this one- I'd go to get a good sense of which women were hot AND could think.

Then make sure to engage them in flattering chat afterwards.

But the cartoon is great. Spot on, as the Brits would say.

Why do I get the distinct impression you guys would get thrown out quicker than a Wall Street Banker?

C Neul said...

Not me, Rita. I'm good that that sort of thing. :)
