Heh nice one Wiley, this is what the powers that be (of pretty much any stripe, political, religious or monetary) wish the Occupy movement was. There’s probably nothing in this world more terrifying than a very large normally quiet, invisible and docile group of people suddenly and with out outside direction decide to do something they believe in.
I said it before I’ll say it again. Occupy whatever is useless and hurts only the locals. Want to make a difference? Vote regularly and constantly as well as keeping track of what the elected officials do or don’t do and keep them accountable!!!
I got arrested for free camping 4 decades ago. But I wasn’t wearing a mask of the terrorist trying to murder the most powerful man on earth because my minority wasn’t happy. Are the OWS planning explosions and murder too?
Better yet, with all the apparent time on their hands, why not occupy their minds and lives by creating their own jobs? That’s how businesses get started; by entrepreneurs who can’t “find” a job that suits them (read “find”: isn’t handed to them) or who don’t want to work for someone else.@Rista – that normally quiet group of people, the “silent majority” as they used to be called, aren’t necessarily docile. You’ll find MOST of them living their lives the way they want to: earning a decent living (despite the Occupy whatever’s contention that 99% earn next to nothing) and ignoring laws that make no credible or moral sense to them. @AnonymousUser, agreed; it does hurt the locals because the Occupy movement doesn’t take into account that most local businesses are owned by only one or two people. But then, the Occupy group have no sense of humor and probably aren’t even looking at the funnies.
It DOES look a little like the Herman Cain campaign committee. Well, the guy on the far right flipped from Sarah, to Bachmann, to Perry, to Cain, now he’s just getting plastered. Of course they’re listening to Limbaugh on the radio?
@AnonymousUser: Wrong and Right! Occupy has been very useful in that they have called our attention to some problems AND they have let many of us who have been concerned about the economic crimes committed against our people know that we are not alone. Now that they have made us aware of both the issues and the numbers of people affected, they and we must follow up, pay attention and vote. Corollary: if you do not pay attention, DON’T VOTE! So many people get into the voting booth and have no idea of the issues in each race. They end up voting for the “name that sounds familiar.” That is often the candidate who spent the most money on TV ads. Then we all get the government that the uninformed voter really deserves.
Nah, I thought of it today… We should have a family member from each of the congresspeople’s house tell the true scandals of their lives… Then, we’d have no politicians left… REBELLION! Then we’d really have government by the people… OOh! And send Vegans in there in their place (like, the loving ones) and let the Vegans rule the world! Muhaha!
like the mayor said: get a job. you hand any of these turds a list of open employers, and what do they do? complain about not having a job. duh. they aren’t protesters. they’re lazy turds. how many picked up one of those macD’s applications, and went to work last week? not a damn one, i’ll bet.
dfowensby, what color is the sky in your world? Working doesn’t pay like it used to. Now it’s not even enough to live on, much less prosper. Oh, you have to do it and most people do. But it IS beginning to look like working people are getting the ax in the neck once again….

Most popular sign at most bars would be, “I’m Not Here.” That’s what they say when the phone rings.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is much more useless than occupying a local public space.
