To some extent, I agree with those saying that the OWS protesters should really take their causes to Washington and mass protest there. These small scale, scattered encampments across the country are not as effective as several hundred thousand people bringing the capital to a halt would be, IMO. I happen to agree with many of their causes, but it's really the politicians who have the power to fix the system and change the laws, as they act (or are supposed to act) on behalf of the people. Let's face it, politicians on both sides are just as much a part of the problem as the banksters themselves in many cases.
OWS has become just as ineffective and just as much of a laughing stock as the Tea Party, IMO.
They won't take it to Washington because they know where the handouts come from. They want redistribution of wealth and so does Washington.
Apparently neither do you and the many people mocking and demonizing a group of people that are utilizing their 1st Amendment right to try to change the direction of our country.
Maybe you would understand if you ever had a cause that meant anything to you, I highly doubt it though. You and so many Americans today don't stand for much. It's sad to think what it would take for people like you to protest.
"As I observe the zombie like reactions of Americans to our catastrophic economic highway to collapse, the continued plundering and pillaging of the national treasury by criminal Wall Street bankers, non-enforcement of existing laws against those who committed the largest crime in history, and reaction to young people across the country getting beaten, bludgeoned, shot with tear gas and pepper sprayed by police, I can’t help but wonder whether there is anyone home. Why are most Americans so passively accepting of these calamitous conditions? How did we become so comfortably numb? I’ve concluded Americans have chosen willful ignorance over thoughtful critical thinking due to their own intellectual laziness and overpowering mind manipulation by the elite through their propaganda emitting media machines. Some people are awaking from their trance, but the vast majority is still slumbering or fuming at erroneous perpetrators."

Pinning your hopes on OWS is about as practical as pinning them on one of our current crop of politicians. The movement has little if any idea of what it supports or why it should support or oppose anything.
At best the OWS crowd is a group of currently useful idiots manipulated into attempting to divert our attention from the screwing we're getting from our elected officials.
I understand that you don't know what the Occupy movement actually stands for or anything about the people.
So tell me to date, what occupy has accomplished that is positive?
Name anything that they have actually done to make a positive change in this country. I can tell you that they have closed some small businesses that were owned by common folks just trying to make a living. They have caused a sanitation problem wherever they have been and basically created and inconvenience for people all over the country. Are these your positive changes? What can you point to that has changed for all the incessive whining? Do you not see a problem with this picture?? Hello, is anyone home???

They haven't made me mad. I find them ridiculous... Rather pathetic.
As for personal attack, if you can find any personal attack in anything that I posted in response, I suggest you report it.

If they don't make you mad then you shouldn't care. You are lying.

They don't affect me. I have not been exposed to their circus, but as a bystander can obviously see their result.... Making a observation does not make one necessarily angry, it is just that,.... AS for being a liar, perhaps you may want to do some soul searching on that one.
