November 2, 2011 - I just got back from the Occupy Oakland General Strike this afternoon, which will last into the night. Here are some photos. There was not a policeman in sight! It was a bit odd. The day so far had been very peaceful, resembling a fair with posters, art supplies, chalk drawings, painters, food, music, dancing, and speeches. This is how conversation should flow and it was really good seeing people discussing real issues openly.
