OLSEN

scott olsen is a quiet young man who is an iraq war veteran
who works as a network engineer and lives in his san francisco
apartment with a friend.
he is a member of the iraq veterans against war and had planned
to walk in an occupy san francisco march but at the last minute
the group decided to go to the oakland march instead

he managed to survive his tours in iraq without injury
little did he know that night he while marching in a demonstration
he would sustain a critical injury from the oakland police during
their attempts to remove the protesters from downtown



allegedly he was hit in the head with a rubberised bullet from
police that hit him in the temporal area of the head causing
a skull fracture and bleeding in the brain
he ended up on a ventilator and later is unable to speak
but doctors say he should eventually make a full recovery

what is disturbing in videos shown on the internet and on the
news is that a policeman it appears purposely threw a blasting
smoke bomb at his feet as other marchers came to his aid
he was eventually hauled away by other marchers and taken
unconscious to the hospital in one of their cars

was this all necessary
was this a policeman acting independently
even in war sometimes the enemy is allowed to pick up its wounded

this all brings back bad memories of the 60s and 70s with the
civil rights marches and the antiwar marches that occurred

all this confrontation only spreads the flames for more violence to
occur with this movement when really its a peaceful movement if
you talk to the core group of people involved

(ive walked in one of the occupy austins marches and the majority
of the people there were like you and i)

it also will make the movement grow more hopefully in the right
direction so that some changes will occur that will make all of our
lives better

the civil rights movement made things better for many americans
of all races
the antiwar movement became eventually mainstream and most
americans began opposing the viet nam war and we eventually
ended the war
but not after it almost tore our country apart

hopefully this wont happen here with this movement
as it has so much potential to benefit us all

lets hope for a peaceful future but we do need some changes
lets start with our next elections and whether you are
democratic republican or independent vote and get involved
as voting and demonstrating for your causes is the american way

scott olsen just may be the new face of this movement
think he would want it to be a peaceful smiling face

99%
the 99% includes all of us who make less than $950,000
i doubt that few people if any of the 1% read this blog
so most of my readers are in the 99% and are affected by
what is going on with the occupy movement and is seriously
affected by what is not happening in our politics in washington
and locally as well

we all do need to get involved this next year in our own
political parties to ensure that change really does occur

i am concerned that it will all continue as it is which could
make our future bleak for us and our children

get involved somewhere

FOOTBALL
horns won but kansas is not good this year
they will be tested in the rest of their games
hogs tried to lose
cowboys just sucked
those rangers broke texass heart
there may not be a next year

next weekend will be a good college football weekend
look forward to the alabama lsu game
this could have been the championship game if they werent
in the same conference

watch out for the goblins tonight
happy halloween

WALK(S) 1
well my wife she and i did two walks on saturday
the first was the walk to end alzheimers in austin
we did this one with my younger son he
here is a picture of our group
the organicgreendoctor.com team

we had a successful walk
we had over 40 members walking
make that 43 if you count the babies that will be born
soon
and 44 if you count stanley the dog
the youngest were a set of twins about 2 months old and
the oldest was well i better not tell who that was

we raised more than any other individual team
we had one of the larger individual teams
we had one of the largest amounts raised by an individual
we had a good time

the team was made up of my wife shes friends, my friends,
my former patients, my fellow former now employees, and
former fellow doctor, and of course stanley the dog of the
run afer the deer fame when he came to visit us at the
country n which took a few hours to locate him
he had a good time then and a good time saturday

we hope to have this and more success next year

my wife she and i have decided to have the alzheimers association
as our charity that we will support
it is a disease that affects everyone eventually

i wish to thank all of you for your financial support and for you
support of the fight against this devastating disease

here is what i think is the best picture from the walk
its bg and i
there is hope for the future

WALK(S) 2
on saturday my wife she and i then went to another walk
the walk to end financial ruin for the 99% who cant get
mortgages, who are underwater on their mortgages, who are
deep in student loan debt, who cant get loans for their small
businesses, who pay a disproportionate percentage of taxes
(even warren buffet recognizes this) and who see a dim picture
for themselves and their kids

im not really personally affected by this much as i make a six figure
salary, have hardly any debt, have no credit card debt, have a
mortgage thats almost paid off (am sure mine got bundled up in
all this mess), have plenty of money saved to last my wife she and i
for our life time, paid off my student debt from college and medical
school a long time ago, and have moved all my money to the
credit union (did this before all this occupy thing started)

we wanted to see what the group was like and also because our
kids, their future kids, your kids and their future kids, my nephews
and nieces and their kids are going to feel the brunt of what is
wrong here

so we walked earlier to end a devastating disease
now we walked to end a devastating problem we have today
in america that may destroy the middle class

we looked around
yes there were some fringy looking people
well they looked like a lot like the high school kids and college kids
and there were a lot of middle class families there with the mothers
and fathers and their kids and there were a lot of grandparents there
and a lot of professional people were there

everyone was peaceful
the austin police were especially good
maybe new york should borrow some of these guys

i dont think this movement is going to go away
it needs to be steered so that it can make those changes
that everyone who reads this blog can benefit from

dont think this is a black or white or brown issue
or a conservative or liberal issue
or a democratic or republican issue
or a young or old issue
but an issue that affects us all

interesting is that some of the issues being raised or also
some of the issues raised by the tea party movement

it is troublesome that 30 large banks are now just 5 megabanks
who were bailed out even though they were involved in bundling
all those derivatives that got us into this mess
yes some of them paid back that bail out money but the huge
profits they make are not reaching us in any way

hopefully this movement will influence or scare congress into
doing something about our problems and
stop the gridlock thats going on

the walks to end will continue

dang those cowboys should have won
dang those horns should have won
