Occupation, boats and turning tides.

I get a little testy when I hear the often used saying "a rising tide lifts all boats." This assumes everyone has a "boat" and every "boat" is in good repair. Unfortunately, economic storms have tossed so many of these "boats" around that some are leaking badly or have been smashed beyond repair. Meanwhile there are very big "boats" that ply the waters picking off life preservers from the smaller boats leaving human beings to drown in the wake. It is for this that the Occupy movement lives.
