Boring intro:... I am often asked from the Extreme-Conservative-Republican to the Blue-Dog-Democrats people have asked me, Why are you doing what you are doing? Why Occupy? You have to understand a little more about me to understand why I hear it so often, have to understand some aspects unique to The South and Mississippi, understand a little of how and when I was raised, and my personal feelings on the aspect of humanity called Honor. Honor comes in many forms; from honor among thieves, Honor to : Country, Politics, God, Religion, even Honor thy Father and thy Mother, and Generational Family Honor (Honoring the History of your family name), you will have to understand my feelings, even if you dont agree. Ill explain ME in as short as possible without hiding anything. James C. Farrar, Jr. (C.J.)
Honor:
I looked in several dictionaries for Honor and none of them really say what I was taught the word means; some come close, but close isnt enough. I had to use several combined to find what I was taught the true virtue of Honor meant. The New Oxford American Dictionary had 2 phrases Ill pull to use; first, on ones honor under a moral obligation, and second, theres honor among thieves PROVERB dishonest people may have certain standards of behavior that they will respect. Three through five come from Microsoft Word 2010 using the Encarta Dictionary: English (North America). From there, Honor strong moral character or strength, and adherence to ethical principles; Honor (as mens code of integrity), a code of integrity in some societies, e.g. in feudal Europe and medieval Japan, that men upheld by force of arms (I personally dont like the force of arms in that one); and honor bound obligated by a promise or ethical principles to do something. I hope you can understand why I dont feel that any of those definitions describes alone what I feel the word means, but taking all 1 from New Oxford and 3from Encarta Dictionary together STARTS to paint a picture of what I was Feel honor is really about. And the theres honor among thieves PROVERB explains how I feel our US National Leaders have acted for too many years.
plans that Democrats want to put in place. Middle-class Mississippi is afraid that if all those plans went into effect, it seems that we wouldnt be promising a mule and 10 acres, wed be promising a $250,000 house and 2 brand new cars. The Democrats of Mississippi would be much more popular with the Mississippi middle-class if they would all get behind one or two plans which is really all they want, but it seems like they want all 6 plans to go into effect all at once. Nationally I dont see much difference between the Republican and Democrat parties except one or 2 points, and I think that Nationally both Parties are Corrupt. So, I helped form the Justice Party of Mississippi, which will hopefully grow as moderates realize that the Justice Party is a party for moderates of both Parties, at least I hope it will be. If not Ill have to just be Independent, until a political party does gets act straight and until then Ill just vote for whoever DOESNT HAVE THE JOB NOW, I mean if we replace ALL of them we cant end up with MORE crooks there than we currently have, can we? I am a Christian, and I dont care to convert or be converted. One thing though that I am very tired of hypocrites (Christians and Muslims) that preach the word of God as all of the Muslim, Protestant, and Catholic(or any other religion); yet hypocrites refuse to practice what almost EVERY Religion in the world teaches (including religions not mentioned) A Peaceful and Loving God. I dont try to push my faith on anyone else or my beliefs, and I wish every religion that preaches peace and love would just start practicing peace and love. I am technically a southern Baptist, but I have some beliefs that might not agree with Baptists. 1) I dont think it is a sin to drink, but it is to drink to excess. I had a discussion with a Baptist Deacon one day and asked him to explain when he thought that, though the Bible says Jesus drank wine. He replied that wine wasnt intoxicating back then like it is now. I replied that the Bible says wine then was alcoholic because it says partake of the vine but dont get drunk. His reply was water wasnt as safe back then; I pointed out Jesus took water and turned it into wine, and if it had been a sin he would have just purified the water. As you can imagine the conversation ended right there. 2) I believe that evolution and Christianity dont conflict and believe both. I just feel that the Days mentioned in the first 7 days of the bible were actually not literal AS WE APPLY IT. I think God was referring to his days and I think we are in the 7th day. I also feel that at some point in the history of evolution of the Earth as given by our system of time God reached out and changed Homo-WHATEVER it was right before us or installed humans into evolution by installing our Spirit(s) creating the next line of evolution and Adam and Eve. 3) With Adam and Eve I think he also changed them to the point where they were like him by not only installing Spirit but also by giving us a Brain that would have been much better than the ones we use today. I believe that originally God intended for us to use 100% of our brain, not just the 20% we are limited to using now. I believe that that other 80% is the part that would have made us in his image, unflawed. I think that the forbidden fruit was sex, and God said no to sex, not because it was evil, but if Adam and Eve were made to be in Gods image and live as close to forever as that other 80% of our brain would let us (maybe thats where the occasional true ESP, or healing Miracle happens to someone, maybe God reaches down and allows our body limited access to that part of the brain). I think that is why in the bible that Eve was told because of this you will endure childbirth and pain, not because our loving God was punishing her. If that is true then as a loving God he would have HAD to have removed the Tree of Knowledge, access to that other 80%, or we would have overpopulated the Earth many, many years ago. 4) This is an extension of the last one, but if Satin had come and tempted eve in the form of HomoWHATEVER-was right before us, then when God removed the serpents legs, maybe it was figurative and he made the missing link die out.
So as you can tell when it comes to Politics and/or Religion, I think outside the box. I would consider myself as a moderate balance of Liberal and Conservative from religion & politics TO economy & environmentalism. I also want to add, I am a Capitalist with a True belief in some Socialism for the General Welfare, but I am not a Corporatism based Fascist which is the reckless road our Capitalist USA seems to be directed into by most of The 1% Ill go ahead and toss one last thing in. Separation of Church and State: 1) they werent to be infringed upon which means if it has come to the point where even mentioning God in a school is a problem then stop, 2) separate means they also get no special treatment regardless of how popular they are. Religious freedom should mean show favoritism to religion just because it is religion. And Religious Leaders PLEASE stop trying to convert by LEGISLATION or by the SWORD. Stop the WARS we are in.
Marijuana, I support at least Medical Marijuana, but that is self-centered, because: I am currently having to pay over $1,000.00 per month for the GENERIC version of Marinol. Marinol is the drug that had been FDA approved in ALL 50 states for 25+ years; its active ingredient is Synthetic THC. For the few who dont know, THC is the active ingredient in Marijuana. So the problem apparently isnt THC, just if it goes into a pharmaceutical corporation or someone grows it themselves. So call me what you want, but dont make the mistake of calling me dishonest. I have no reason or need to lie, and if you imply that I am I take it as a DIRECT ATTACK on my HONOR. Dont get that mistaken with me thinking I am always right about everything, but I dont say anything that I HONESTLY dont believe, and if I am shown wrong (it can take a while-BUT), I eventually admit it. Thats being wrong, not being dishonest; there is a difference.
tion (inactive-membership lapsed, moneys tight), and I stand by the document our countrys Forefathers wrote. Even they admitted though that it wasnt perfect, that is why there is an Amendment Clause in Article V of the United States Constitution. It happens to be my opinion that at least one and maybe even a few careful clarifications are needed in the form of CAREFULLY drafted Amendments. I should add a few things about Farrars that can be historically proven to show we will fight for what we believe in, but I am running out of room; so Ill only add one. Bishop Robert Ferrar, Bishop of St. Davids, the martyr, 1500-1555, Halfax Parish, In preaching reforms he was accused of heresy during the Marion persecutions and refusing to recant, was burned at the stake for his Protestant faith on 30 Mar., 1555, in Carmathen on the south side of Market Cross. (Holmes A. , March, 2011, p. 56)
this is all told to me at a young age, the name would have been slightly spelled differently, but as a child I always saw it in my head as FARRAR, not understanding that over 1000 years spellings had gotten slightly changed. Now this is just a legend to this point, but from here on is documented historical fact, and I can show direct male lineage to around 1050. I dont say Documented Historical Fact lightly, the subject has been thoroughly investigated (Holmes A. , March, 2011), and source documents exist separate from that account from documents filed with the Sons of the American Revolution to historical societies including in England both the Heraldic Society and the College of Arms to Religious Historical records including records from Halifax Parish Church, Westminster Abbey, and St. Margarets of London Historical Fact: during his reign William the Conqueror, around 1040, did knight my ancestor, who was a farrier who became a FARRIER as recorded by the College of Arms, in England.
Occu-Why?

Because regardless if the family legend is true or not, I agree with the PARABLE and am personally so tired of politicians not doing the job they begged for; and YES, I said you BEGGED for months for your job by CAMPAINING. Yes BEGGED! As it relates to the parable and POSSIBLY true, but probably not, family legend: Quit leaving out the extra nails in the horseshoes; I personally am tired of seeing one figurative horse (WARS: Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and???? Iran) after horse (Economy, Liberty, Capitalism) another break its figurative leg (war machine) or neck (internet bubble, housing bubble, and CORPORATISM)!

Occupy Wall Street 10-14-2012 Declaration As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies. As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known. They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage. They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses. They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one's skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation. They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization. They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices. They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions. They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right. They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers' healthcare and pay. They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility. They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance. They have sold our privacy as a commodity. They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press. They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit. They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce. They have donated large sums of money to politicians supposed to be regulating them. They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil. They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people's lives in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantive profit. They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit. They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media. They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt. They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad. They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas. They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.* To the people of the world, We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power. Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone. To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.
Some people still ask what is Occupy about? There is definitely one thing that I have heard from every person who feels part of the Occupy Movement and that is we want all money out of politics that doesnt directly from people. Do you want NO CORPORATIONS for profit or nonprofit messing with our elections? Do you feel that elected representatives represent corporations not the people? If you feel that way too you might be part of Occupy without knowing it. Or you might have just decided to join us and Occupy.
Why Occupy in Public? We Occupy Public Space Because 24 hours a day 7 days a week; Politicians Bank Accounts Pre-Occupied With Corporate Money!
