Today, Saturday 10/15/2011 we found out that the 99% are legion

It has taken my breath away to see all the photos posted from the Occupy groups all over the world. We truly are a massive number of people. Soon there will be billions of us counted as active 99%ers. But even before that happens, we are legion. Isn't that amazing?! The world has never seen this before. Never.

3. where will they attack?

The OWS is everywhere and it is fluid. They have no headquarters other than an internet site or two. What can guns and tanks do to that. They have no leader to kill or arrest. They can move very quickly. Are the guns and tanks going to destroy Manhattan?

As soon as they bring out the guns and tanks only a few people will get hurt and killed, but the idea won't. It will actually grow.

5. It is impressive, to be sure.

And it is global. That's a first.

For better or for worse, we live in interesting times.

12. "we are legion"?!?! Are you sure that is the quote you want to use?

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+8:30&version=KJV

^snip^

Luke 8:30
King James Version

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

Maybe "We are a Legion" is closer to the meaning you were hoping for.

14. I don't read the bible nor do I believe in the devil

Edited on Sat Oct-15-11 09:32 PM by lunatica

Though I have no problem with people who do. It's all just a matter of belief and that can't be controlled. In my understanding we are legion means there are so many of us that we can't be counted. Perhaps that's all the devil meant too. That there are more than one could know. Kind of like we're finding today. Doesn't it surprise you how many people all over the world have consciously chosen to become the 99%?
