While I sympathize on many points that the OWS'ers declare, the movement doesn't seem to have a coherent message. At least during the 60's and 70's there was the unifying them of getting us out of Vietnam. Now it's all volunteer military, so the crowds don't seem to care about Americans dying daily on foreign soil, which makes me sad.
I know that one point of contention is the out-of-control cost of a college education. Fair enough. Why the hell aren't those crowds at various and sundry UC's protesting the hell out of executive pay and bloated salaries across the whole UC/CSU systems? The number of hugely fat--like $200K+ salaries--is mind boggling. At the college where I teach, we keep cutting classes but ADDING various executive level positions. Our chancellor makes close to $300k a year! Arrrrgh! Pepper spray the administrators!

Are people on U.C. campus' allowed to exercise their Second Amendment right? Only if they are attending a TeaBagger reloading rally and threatening opponents with bull's eyes.

Why the f*#k can't we complain the way you did? Because Skipt you are guilty of cannibalism.
You are really into clowns and little boys Skipt how do they taste compared to white fetuses?

rich conservatives only worry about one thing, losing all their money.
so when they see threat to their wealth, they get all upset and insecure,
next thing ya know, peaceful kids are gettin sprayed.
don't disrupt the machine, even if it is screwed up.
you know how much money UC pulls in every year?

$30,000 a year?
I'll bet 99% of the students there that day wanted the education they're paying for ( or going into debt for ), without having their education disrupted by a bunch of lunatics.

Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues
I saw it advertised one day
Bear Mountain picnic was comin’ my way
“Come along ’n’ take a trip
We’ll bring you up there on a ship
Bring the wife and kids
Bring the whole family”
Yippee!
Well, I run right down ’n’ bought a ticket
To this Bear Mountain Picnic
But little did I realize
I was in for a picnic surprise
Had nothin’ to do with mountains
I didn’t even come close to a bear
Took the wife ’n’ kids down to the pier
Six thousand people there
Everybody had a ticket for the trip
“Oh well,” I said, “it’s a pretty big ship
Besides, anyway, the more the merrier”
Well, we all got on ’n’ what d’ya think
That big old boat started t’ sink
More people kept a-pilin’ on
That old ship was a-slowly goin’ down
Funny way t’ start a picnic
Well, I soon lost track of m’ kids ’n’ wife
So many people there I never saw in m’ life
That old ship sinkin’ down in the water
Six thousand people tryin’ t’ kill each other
Dogs a-barkin’, cats a-meowin’
Women screamin’, fists a-flyin’, babies cryin’
Cops a-comin’, me a-runnin’
Maybe we just better call off the picnic
I got shoved down ’n’ pushed around
All I could hear there was a screamin’ sound
Don’t remember one thing more
Just remember wakin’ up on a little shore
Head busted, stomach cracked
Feet splintered, I was bald, naked . . .
Quite lucky to be alive though
Feelin’ like I climbed outa m’ casket
I grabbed back hold of m’ picnic basket
Took the wife ’n’ kids ’n’ started home
Wishin’ I’d never got up that morn
Now, I don’t care just what you do
If you wanta have a picnic, that’s up t’ you
But don’t tell me about it, I don’t wanta hear it
’Cause, see, I just lost all m’ picnic spirit
Stay in m’ kitchen, have m’ own picnic . . .
In the bathroom
Now, it don’t seem to me quite so funny
What some people are gonna do f’r money
There’s a bran’ new gimmick every day
Just t’ take somebody’s money away
I think we oughta take some o’ these people
And put ’em on a boat, send ’em up to Bear Mountain . . .
For a picnic

Chaz, your statement makes me think of the outcry from the tea party at town hall meetings here in NH leading up to the midterm elections.
Shouting, spitting mad, throbbing forehead veined, red faced people disrupting what was meant to be a meet the candidate session.
They are still the most immature people I've ever encountered.

Well, I guess this story must begin
That fateful day a way back when
I decided I should have a credit card
So I filled out this application
Listed all my recommendations
Sent it off in the mail
And in a month or so the mailman brought me my brand new charge-all card
Better than checks, safer than money, and not near as dirty!
Well it laid around for a couple of days
And finally I thought "What the hay?
Why not see if this thing'll really work!"
So I went down to my favorite store
Picked out three or four shirts or more
A pair of pants and a strip-ed tie
And the man came by and said:
"Yes Sir, cash or charge?"
I said: "Just put it on my credit card
Write that dude up! Ahhh, convenient!"
Now I put that card away in a drawer
And I never charged one dollar more
Then one day in the mail I got this bill
Typed on a card all full of holes
That says do not staple, bend or fold
Was the astronomical figure of thirty-two hundred dollars and forty-two cents... When!
There's been a mistake!
So I got on the phone... "Hello? Hello?"
I got Mr. Black and Mr. Brown
And then I got the run-a-round
'Til finally Mr. Green came on the line
I said "Sir, this may be hard to take
But your computer's made a mistake
It says I owe more money than I've ever seen"
And he said "People like you make mistakes
Computers do not lie
Send us the bread. PDQ!"
Well this had just about done me in
So I grabbed that computer card again
The one with all those holes punched out so nice
And I threw it on the floor and I stomped it twice
And then I whipped out my pocket knife
And punched out a few more holes where there hadn't been no holes before
And I bent it double...
Stapled it across the end...
Drove my car over it...
Stick that up your computer!
I sent her back in and never heard no more
'Til one day the mailman came to the door
With a special delivery from the charge-all place
Inside was a note from Mr. Green
Said: "We ran your card through our machine
And it tells us that you overpaid your bill!
Enclosed is a check payable to you...
For nine thousand dollars!
We appreciate your business"
Well I got back on the phone again, called Mr. Green
And he was I,
And I said: "I think there is something you should know"
Then I told him what the computer had done
And I said "Just remember, you're the one...
That told me computer's do not lie
Thank you!

"an eloquent text" - such praise for such drivel is a damning indictment of america's education system...i'd give that letter a C, and i teach 9th graders.."
good thing they don't let you teach 10th graders. ha ha You'd do some real damage to their growing minds at that point.

Conservatives who don't see how the government has been bought by big business and elite money and yet don't see how they have also been screwed by the current system are cuckholders. There is no such thing as "Big Government" that needs to be cut, but corporations need to be deregulated. It's all the same thing. The regulations are often designed by the big corporations to squeeze out the little competitors that can't afford to comply with them.
Some good posts by degaine.. thank you
Amazing how little respect for peaceful protest there is among some. What do you expect? That if people assembled to protest the usurpment of our democracy by big money that they should all just say shucks and go home when the police come and tell them to go away! What kind of wimp sauce would that be? The British would still be ruling if that was the case and the abuse of the British over their own citizens who came here was mild compared to where we are heading.
Here's a positive step that I'd support %100. I'll believe corporations are citizens and people when Texas executes one.
