Something Coherent from Occupy Wall Street
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQow0...ature=youtu.be
Amongst the various slogans and rants that you hear, this one is more coherent. I forsee many people like him coming and joining this protest.

It is coherent, but he lost me when he started talking about guns. The problem I see is there are many, many messages and hidden agendas in that crowd.

There is no telling what the end result will be.

I saw a few signs in some of the photos calling for public financing of campaigns. This is actually something I've been talking about for a long time. I don't mind agreeing with someone who is protesting when their message is the same as mine, although I highly doubt we have many other opinions in common.

Unfocused, chaotic and overall pretty pointless. I'm waiting for the anarchists to start trashing stores.
Is this any way to run a revolution?

...and unsurprisingly, supported by Democratic leadership as it closely aligns with Washington politics.

How long before someone who works for a living drives a truck through the middle of one of their parties?
Remember the pics of the National Mall after the Glen Beck rally versus the pics after the inauguration and Dim events?
For people who talk a good game, they sure don't live like they are environmentally conscious.

Zuccotti Park, their base of operations here, is a complete mess. A few of my buddies who have been sent to work down there doing crowd control have told me that it is gag inducing. The word within the PD is that the City is going to wait until it becomes a health hazard and then use that as the reason for shutting them down.

Isn't that a bad idea. Why not shut them down in the 1st place before an outbreak of something.

The City doesn't want it to look like they shut down a relatively peaceful (so far) protest for political reasons. Remember that Mayor Bloomberg is a multi-billionaire who made his money on Wall Street. The park is private and the owners (a very large real estate firm) could ask for them to be removed at any time, but I supposed the powers that be want to at least semi show respect to the right of the people to protest.

By the time it gets to be shut down time you might want to remind the guys it might be better to wear HazMat suits.

We just got word that the 20 or so people who are left are in meetings all day. The most important of which concerns us stealing the land from the Native Americans and how Columbus Day should not be celebrated. Hopefully these goofballs will go back from whence they came soon.

Just let them stay in the park until the Cholera outbreak. That will put an end to things naturally. Far out, man.
