QUOTE A DAY - Oct. 25, 2011

Greetings fellow quote lovers:

I stopped by the "Occupy Chicago" demonstrations a couple of weeks ago. I was struck by the diversity of the crowd. I think I would be out there with them if I was 30 years younger...the fires for social Justice still burn in me, even at my age.

This theme of protest and rebellion was inspired by the OWS (Occupy Wall Street) demonstrations.

Best,
JA
