The "Iron Heel" of Capitalism

I'm so glad that Thom brought up Grover Cleveland's 1888 State of the Union Address once again. That address inspired Jack London to write "The Iron Heel". It's available at Project Gutenberg, free for the taking/reading. It's only about 185 pages and is well worth a rainy afternoon's read.
It's hard to believe in 2011 that Grover Cleveland was considered "Pro-Business" when you read his 1888 State of the Union Address. Below is the first two pages of that address. You can almost hear the tone of Mr. Cleveland as you read it...

Is Thom doing too much Occupy Coverage?

Thom,
I love you, Thom. I aspire to be like you, but I've got to tell you: I think you should stop doing live updates from the protests all over the country. It's becoming redundant, and not to mention, some of these occupiers do not sound good on radio. Thanks, Thom.

An Organizational Suggestion for Large Occupations
Submitted by JimA on 25. October 2011 - 10:55
As groups of people become larger they tend to reach a critical mass where informal organizational methods become increasingly ineffective. They become more susceptible to frustration, disillusion, and disintegration through endless disputation, distraction, cooptation, manipulation, and subversion. Especially when wealth and power are at stake, undercover agents and provocateurs are to be expected, and they can operate most freely and effectively within a disorganized group.
