For the better part of a week, there’s been considerable talk of forming an Occupy McMinnville protest downtown around the Court Square fountain. And by “considerable talk” what I really mean to say is I’ve been discussing this idea with several friends.It’s not that we have anything glaring we want to protest, or any collective thought that must be amplified. We mainly think it would be neat to camp downtown for a few days with the plush grass of The Lot providing a perfect place to pitch a tent.
