“The Highest of all Sciences and Services—the Government”

We’re sitting in fron of a building (City Hall) where these words are inscribed. I don’t know how many people here would agree with that statement, but as long as the incumbent politicians refuse to acknolwedge the need for fundamenetal reforms, it is apparent that the protests, and the expansion of the movement, will continue.
