NEW YORK — Anti-Wall Street demonstrators in New York City are trying to trademark the phrase "Occupy Wall Street" before anyone else does first.

Attorney Samuel Cohen represents the protesters in Zuccotti Park. He says they applied Oct. 24 to trademark the name of their movement with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Cohen says the filing was a "defensive move" to ensure that nobody tried to use the "Occupy Wall Street" name for "improper purposes."

The application says the group wants to use the phrase in newsletters and periodicals. It also wants use for merchandise, and on an informational website.

On Oct. 18, Robert Maresca of West Islip (EYE'-slihp), N.Y., filed to trademark the phrase "Occupy Wall St" — with the word "street" abbreviated. The protesters' application spells out the word "street."

Of course, they don't want anybody else to take advantage of their (intellectual) property. That just wouldn't be fair, would it?

Well, if you insist...

Nick Hommen, 29, a volunteer from Salem, Ore., who was handling donations, said some demonstrators were taking advantage of people’s generosity.

“We can’t afford to keep buying new tents. It’s ridiculous the sense of entitlement people feel,” Hommen said.

This is a good idea.

When the rich guys decide to give away all their money you want it to go to the right guys.

So this way they will be able to identify them.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Bet Goldman Sachs has beat them to it.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!
