"Happy Birthday Occupy Wall Street ... thoughts on Year One"
Fifteen years ago, I ran across a book, "100 Most Influential People in History," during one of my dalliances to my local Marin County bookstore. "Influential People" was one man's assessment on exactly that. But how he determined his rankings was the interesting part. They weren't always the reasons you would think.

Hi Wiliam,
I came on late at 8pm due to a class I teach biweekly, so I missed quite a bit. However, I was in a breakout with Drew and got a fairly good earful of some of the planning and visioning re: website and a little about strategy.
Overall, I have a real good feeling about the Justice Party going forward. I'm mildly skeptical regarding getting enough traction soon enough to really compete in the presidential race, California's missed date notwithstanding.
However, I'm a strong believer in miracles and destiny. If ever there was a year when something novel of epic proportions could occur, this would be the one.
Do you ever get over to this side of the bay? Or perhaps somewhere in the middle? Not sure what your schedule constraints are, mine is mildly flexible (I'm on calls 6-10 hours a day). Call me and we can set a time to meet: 415-234-6200 (office), 415-847-8000 (mobile).
Cheers,
Jitendra
Welcome, Wiliam!
I'm interested in knowing more about the Justice party. I read a bit about Rocky Anderson a couple weeks ago, but haven't seen any more since watching his interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now. I'm across the bay from you in Novato.
Looking forward to having you join our weekly call conversations and online.
Cheers,
Jitendra
