Commentary
With just a small bit of effort, anyone can find the below listed quotes (and more than a few variants thereof) by executing a simple internet word search.
From OccupyWallSt.org -
"Our strength is our diversity. We are legion, we are many."
From Russia's RIA Novosti -
"WE ARE ALL ANONYMOUS. we are legion. we do not forget, we do not forgive. expect us."
From the New Civil Rights Movement -
"The Voice of The People is The Voice of Anonymous.
We are Legion. We are the 99%.
We do not forgive. We do not forget.
Wall Street: Expect us."
Everything Old Is New Again...
Then we come to a rather curious quote from a certain book that many of us very well may be familiar with;
"And He asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to Him: My name is Legion, for we are many."
Where does that particular line come from?
The Holy Gospel According to Saint Mark, 5:9, Douay Rheims Bible.
For those who may have forgotten, when Christ was exorcising a host of demons from a man, Jesus asked what their names were.
The answer they gave Him - "My name is Legion."
Sound familiar?
I've got to ask in all seriousness, does anyone really believe this is just a mere coincidence?
Seriously?
Oh, Something Else...
And as tough as it may be, we're all called to forgive.
Personally, I have no problem whatsoever with forgiveness... just as soon as the transgressor satisfies his or her just and fair punishment.
I couldn't help but notice that the Occupy Wall Street crowd specifically disregards what Jesus Christ has called each and every one of us to strive for.
What Is Their Real Goal?
Are these individuals simply angry due to their sense of entitlement for other peoples money hasn't come to fruition?
Possibly, are they actually striving towards fundamentally transforming the United States of America?
Gee, where have we heard that before? (See video, left)
