The Meeting -- a democratic satire
Tuesday, November 1, 2011
For a lighthearted look at some of the difficulties and frustrations with the democratic process of the Occupy movement, have a look at The Meeting: A Democratic Satire, by Kahtia Lontis.
It is described as "a short satirical fiction piece based on the painful process of grassroots democracy". It is something anyone who has taken part in the movement could identify with.

"Australia has the most restrictive media in the western world. Censorship by omission denies Australians their democratic right to make sense of whole stratas of political and foreign policy. That's why Green Left Weekly is a beacon, doing a job of honourable journalism, as an agent of people, not power."

You want to support an industry where thousand upon thousands of greenhouse gas emissions are being strewn into the air daily?
So ironic you guys have a plane on the cover of your 'green left' magazine...
