    Hope and Frustration on 89a in West Sedona

    ANIMATED LOGO1Sedona, AZ  (November 7, 2011) November 5 came as a cold and windy day to show support for the Occupy Wall Street Movement. And yet Sedona residents stepped out along Highway 89a outside Bank of America in West Sedona to voice their concerns and hopes for the future. The event was coordinated through MoveOn.org , as a part of the nationwide movement of Occupy Wall Street.

    The Occupy Wall Street movement comes as a much needed response to decades of growing inequality, financial deregulation, and zero accountability for the crimes that brought about our current economic crisis. Millions throughout the nation and across globe who feel they have no voice in our political system have come to embrace “Occupy” as an expression of their anger, frustration and hope. “I think it will take awhile, but I think eventually we will be successful”, said Karoline Hermes, a Sedona resident. The demonstration was orderly and peaceful. There were no police interventions and no arrests.

    As people across the globe are waking up to the fact that the monetary collapse comes as a result of banking practices that have been in place for 100 years, demonstrations have been taking place. Small towns and large cities are seeing people marching in protest. Not all demonstrations are as peaceful as Sedona. Oakland, California and New York have seen mass arrests as people refuse to disperse. Currencies in Europe are collapsing and national debts are not being repaid. It seems every country owes every other country money. The world is slowly sinking into the debt abyss with no ability to repay these loans. Some say a one world currency is just around the next curve.

    “No more corporate contributions to campaigns, that would be my number one wish” states Karoline Hermes, “That would be a start”.

    Baby Boomer Hippies
    Baby Boomer Blues
    By Tommy Acosta
    If you are a Baby Boomer and are reading this, STOP right now and click off the page because it’s one of the most depressing things I have ever written. But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world. We marched in great numbers on Washington against the killing war in Viet Nam. We wanted to bring an end to evil. And we failed. Miserably. Read more→
