Bottom line: The occupiers are a joke.

i can surely understand why you believe that the occupiers are a "joke."

certainly, this country is in better shape than ever. our president, congress, supreme court, and other leaders are all listening to us and trying to do what is best for our country. we really have no need for a collective voice to speak out against what is happening to the united states and our future. /sarc off

Being mad at everyone serves no purpose. Identify the most egregious offenders and shit-list them hard, collectively!

i suppose, based on your comments, you have never actually visited an occupied site, or talked with the people there. i suppose, based on your comments, that you believe your news sources and accept whatever they tell you. otherwise, you would know that the occupy movement is not "mad at everyone."

Citizens have the collective power to peacefully dismantle a bank, a corporation, a retailer, and an oil company.

i guess you missed the part where the banks withdrew their plans to charge us their stupid $5/month fees on our debit cards. i guess you missed the part where over 1 million people have moved their money from a big bank to a local bank or a credit union?

maybe it's not happening fast enough for you (2 months isn't fast enough to fix the country?), so maybe you should get involved and DO something to try and save the future of the next generation, instead of sitting behind your computer calling the occupy movement a joke, and criticizing those who are out there trying to make a difference.

i've visited two occupy sites and the one thing they had in common was an openness to hear everyone's voice and to agree or disagree civilly without the divisiveness pushed down our throats by our leaders (i use that term loosely). each occupy site i've visited has been an open forum where people seek conversation with others to share a common ground.

Instead of pissing and shitting themselves in the streets and setting trashcans on fire

the occupy movement is a non-violent movement. i guess it never occurred to you that there are anarchists who wait for a movement like this to wreck their havoc on the country. i guess it never occurred to you that there are agents provocateur who are planted in a movement like this to keep it off-balance and make it appear to be violent and failing.

rather, you choose to judge the whole movement based on whatever you have been told by some media.

about the media...if you don't want to watch the whole 2+ mins, just pick it up at 1:12 and you'll get the message...the media speaks with one voice.

youtube.com

what most people can't seem to understand is that it is not "them and us"...it is "we"..."we the people."

have a nice day.
