Sums it up, pretty well.

LOL, I gotta hand it to Howard, he's still frikkin' hilarious.
Look dude, ANY movement is gonna have its thirds (one third that get it, one third that kinda, and one third along for the ride). He interviewed the last third for the funny.
Like when he interviewed Iraq War supporters, they were all "Because Saddam blew up the Trade Center & has nuclear weapons pointed at us..."
He squeezes the jokes out of any group mentality.

Chris, even the so called 'leaders' of this movement have no gorram clue why they're protesting. They're having to 'make up' a list of issues, as they go along. Hell, in some areas, they've stopped even trying to formulate any list, because there's no consensus of why they hell they're even there.

Better than "Followin' blindly as you stop" IMO.
So, expressing a negative opinion of a situation is negated by the inability to offer a detailed plan for correction of said situation?
Does that negate the actual situation itself?
How do you effect change by being a happy cog losing ground?
And more importantly, what is the meaning of life?
To get ahead of others? To look out for 'number one'(not the Star Trek kind)? What is family, if not a microcosm of community, and, by extension, the world?
*fell off soapbox*
That it.

For Chrissy -
Quote:
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Hundreds of protesters gathered in Cesar Chavez Park on Thursday to stand in solidarity with the growing nationwide demonstrations aimed at corporate greed, but some members of the peaceful event showed hostility to media members over basic questions about the goals of the protest.
Organizer Anthony Bondi said he has what he referred to as a “message team” working on the primary goals of the local protests, which he admitted “was kind of vague.”
“That message team will reveal that tomorrow [Friday] morning,” Bondi said.
“So you guys are in the process of forming the reasons why you are here?” asked CBS13 reporter Tony Lopez.
“Exactly correct,” Bondi said.

Just making it up, as I go along, huh?
Just as the Howard Stern interview of the OWS kids showed, they're not even sure WHY they're there, what they want, except maybe to find some tail ( assuming they have a tent )

But to the point- that still doesn't NEGATE the situation being PROTESTED.
How can you not get that? They play with the world economy like it's a board game. Thew WANT hard times so deregulation & loopholes can make them more money. They will end up making it a reality with 'rating' currency & stocks.
AU, what WORLD do you live in? OURS? Do you have some special power of immunity to the inherent inequities of this financial crisis? An inheritance or something?

But that IS the point. Stop worrying about what others have, look after your own damn self.

We are islands, right? Objects in space? We don't mean what you think. Hump 'em.
