I'm not laughing so much as pulling my hair out on the sidelines. My message to Occupy is "You need a plan, dudes!". They're gonna have to do more than take up space in public parks if they want to drive their message(s) home to the people who can actually do something about the troubles in our country. Maybe they're already working on that, I don't know; but they better move quick before people lose interest.

Whats strange my friend is I feel the same. It's not my defense crumbling mind you. It is simply as you said pulling my hair out. I feel the reasons I gave above are valid gripes, and lacking in self service.
It frustrates me they haven't gotten this together, it is as if they got the attention they didn't expect. It "grew legs" as they say and never thought of an endgame, I will agree with the detractors there.
I also gave a general analysis of what they are angry about, (above posts) And alot of those reasons have yet to be disputed as right or just.
I won't say they are organized and immaculate and perfectly right. I never did. Some are Ron Paul morons, and the friggin Marxists set up tables there. So yes, haters, your scum is out there.
But I echo krashkart and AVG who both stated this needs to be in DC impacting government. The police will continue to protect the gangster (banksters), because that is what the government tells them to do.
A fundamental shift in government on the other hand...
Sad Cain denounced them, he is one of the few TP guys to ever speak sense and is kinda my guy unless Obama grows a spine.
