Max- in answer to your questions, I work my ass off on a daily basis to provide for my family. I don;t make much but I'm moving up the income ladder. So, unless you're willing to pay my bills and buy my groceries, you will never see my middle income ass out there protesting. I agree with Rick to a certain extent. Just because Arkley is in the papers almost on a daily basis, he's definitely not the richest person in Humboldt. There are many others who donate much more money to our local political system using various shell companies. Travis - I have seen how you people operate. HSU Occupation should be the example of what the other Occupiers should do. Arcata is run by alot of people who have no idea why they are there. But, they want to make sure they have a camera in a police officers face while yelling and chanting. Eureka is mostly peaceful until they start to cry wolf. Humboldt Occupiers have become an eyesore and people are just tired of seeing all the garbage. If your goal is to make a major change in government, then take it to the polls. You guys now sound like Miss America contestants, always wishing for world peace. Something that's not going to happen.
