Go ahead, occupy Detroit

There’s a certain irony to the Occupy Detroit movement. Recent history shows no one really wants to occupy Detroit. Hundreds of thousands of residents have voluntarily moved away.
Suburbanites, always quick to pile on, might say: Go ahead and occupy Detroit — we dare you.
The Occupy movement began as a protest against Wall Street greed. But we have learned that the Occupy Detroit movement is more than happy to help other causes. This past week, our local protesters marked the first anniversary of the political uprising in Egypt.
I don’t know how you say “Occupied” in Egyptian. In Spanish, it’s “Ocupado.” I learned that while protesting the number of restrooms on an airplane.
