Jesse, you there??
I follow blogs and on one I saw a video of yours where you give such an inspiring talk about the the Occupation are all about I was moved emotionally, and have shared it with all contacts at Ytube, Facebook, Twitter, and featured it in my blog here http://intothefaerywoods.blogspot.com
i TRIED to find a person email contact of yourse, but I am hoping you may reply here then?
I have a question: In your talk you mention about the effect the 1% are having on the Web of Life (you dont call it that). I think that this is THE most important issue, and I am wondering though what do you feel about some critiques of the Occupy protests by anarchoprimitivists, who are inspired by people like Derrick Jensen who believe things are SO bad that there needs to be a fiercer revolotion which is anti technoliogy for the reasons of what these way of life is doing to the Web of Life. I am just curious what you think about this, and with such views? If you have time
So good to find out about you.
Peace
Juliano
