Good.

If I was doing the picking, it would be pretty obvious.

#1:
Cape Canaveral
No explanation needed

#2:
Houston
Mission control for just about everything. Those guys are the best.

#3:
Boeing Air and Space Museum
Drive around Boeing Field someday and stare at the AWACS parked there. Or drive in front of what used to be corporate headquarters and see some kind of missile sitting horizontal-like and it’s obvious. Boeing is the worldwide (not just American) leader in aerospace and designed a ton of systems on the shuttle.

#4:
Washington, DC. Specifically, the Smithsonian Institute.
Again, no explanation needed. If I had about another 4 lifetimes, I would someday go back to the Smithsonian.

Probably too late.

I drove around it last April

I agree 100%. It’s a travesty that Houston was denied. Next to Canaveral who has been more closely identified with our space program? How many times have we heard over the years, “Houston, we have a problem.”

I used to live near Sea-Tac airport and took the bus to work in downtown Seattle. Bus went right up highway 99 in front of Boeing.

Lots of Asian tourists coming in to Sea-Tac, and many took the bus downtown. I think in that time I saw about 10,000 Minoltas getting burned up when we passed the airport, well, you know the myth about Japanese and cameras, well, guess what!
It ain’t no myth.

And they weren’t taking pictures of bushes and Koi fish.

High tech. Some of it ultra-high-tech.

Cantor: Occupy Wall Street "mob" concerns me "At the Value Voters Summit on Friday, Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.)said he is "increasingly concerned" by "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations which began in New York and spread to other major cities." w/video

[eyedigress]

I understand. I work for a low-key company with 120,000 employees. We have a major arm in Victoria. :^)

[eyedigress]

BTW most of my family is all around Wash. St.

[Ann Archy]

I sadly disagree with you. The MAJORITY of people in America now are “GIMMES” and “Envious Ignoramouses”....AND GODLESS.

If it ever got to the point of threatening ‘social revolution’ in this country, and the government wasn't doing its job to prevent subversion of the US, the first thing those of us who actually work and pay taxes should do is to quit paying taxes. Why should we fund a government that doesn't protect its citizens from mobs?

Oh, and someone should tell these would-be Marxists that they can't legitimately stage a revolution of the workers, because most of them don't actually work.

****Ann Wilcox, a lawyer working with Stop the Machine, said a 19-year-old woman from Madison,****

When the WORKERS revolted ad destroyed the machines, the people in the upper city lit lanterns and partied on. the lower city where the workers lived and worked, was flooded and destroyed, because the workers had destroyed the machine,

METROPOLIS.

Thank you for posting that link.

Oh, the old will not yield without a colossal stink. But their power is fading and larger America is growing more and more sensible as the need is forced upon it by hard times.

Occupy Together

Welcome to OCCUPY TOGETHER, an unofficial hub for all of the events springing up across the country in solidarity with Occupy Wall St. As we have followed the news on facebook, twitter, and the various live feeds across the internet, we felt compelled to build a site that would help spread the word as more protests organize across the world. We hope to provide people with information about events that are organizing, ongoing, and building across the U.S. as we, the 99%, take action against the greed and corruption of the 1%.

We will only grow stronger in our solidarity and we will be heard, not just in New York, but in echoes across the world.

For more information about us, the movement, and answers to questions, please check out our FAQ.

Important note: Occupy Together will never ask for any monetary donations. We suggest that, if you want to donate monetarily, that you visit this site to help those who currently Occupy Wall St."

This is written like grass roots, but believe me it’s astroturf.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Have any of these nuts thought of the “you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar” angle anyhow? If corporations will sponsor NASCAR racers, why not have, say, Procter & Gamble food banks, or Bank of America homeless shelters? With a sizable tax benefit for doing so? The companies get the good publicity, the impoverished get the benefits, less money is wasted by having to pass first through government hands, and everyone should be happier.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I disagree. Too many groups ready to make ONE big one.
