presentations 2

There were a number of really interesting presentations today
a few really struck me because of personal interest in the movement and some just because they were so different!

The first presentation that was really informative was the Picken's plan. I had actually heard of this and signed an online petition, but I really didn't know the details of the plan. So that was a great presentation to hear about. I also think it would be interesting to look at Picken's himself, he seems to be an interesting character.

I already did a blog about the weather underground and again just noting they are a really fascinating movement! especially hearing the interviews of members now, who talk about the personal investment they put into the movement; and how they still feel that everything they did was right.

The last two movements were really interesting guess I just have some logistical questions about "freeganism". Like how do they get medical attention, or where do they give birth to children? Also I think that it would be interesting to see the opinions of people who are homeless and poverty stricken, not by choice, how would they react to what the "freegans" are doing, and what they stand for?
