Yes, perhaps, or also: "I'm with you in spirit."
Hey, I admit wimping out; I'm beyond the days of just taking off
for the city.
I have to plan..things have really changed.
Does it count that I contributed to the pizza fund for the
Occupy Wall Street folks today?
I think we've all gotten the high hard one from Wall Street. However, I don't know if protesting, whether online or for real, is going to do much besides make people think that they are contributing to the "cause." It's sort of like wearing pink for breast cancer awareness. It's all well and fine... especially for the folks in the pink ribbon business.

I planned on cutting off a few log trucks along the way in celebration, too.

OK, if you don't count the cost to raise them, I suppose I've had some chicks for free:

I just dug my yardsale brooder out of the back of the garage. Everyone is all upset that I'm gonna get a rooster. But, how can you stop, when your heart says go?

My most redneck friend I have just emailed me and said let's go protest Bank of America in Roseburg.
He said there's a protest happening in Eugene too, but he thought there should be something closer. When friends like him are wanting involved, this thing is spreading.
