Naomi Wolf arrested at Occupy Rally...

Ms. Wolf is an author who writes on progressive themes (Give me Liberty is her latest book) who questions the kind of power governments have to prevent voices of dissent. We are told we have 'freedom/liberty' but what does it look like? Here's two sources, one a short interview with Keith O. of current tv. The other source is from the Guardian in the U.K. In the Guardian, both a short article and video is available.

More on the Occupy Movement

I enjoyed this video as a former Olympic champion and activist spoke about his perspectives on the Occupy movement. What do you think of his notions/idea's?

Short article follow by a 10 minutes video can be found here, let me know what you think. Ty
