Saturday 3 December 2011: You Cannot Evict An Idea
The Occupy Philly encampment was evicted three days ago after seven weeks of protest against the extreme abuses of capitalism. The last resisting tents (how many there were, I keep forgetting to ask) were scooped away to the landfill with bucket loaders at One o'clock in the morning.
