When the march on the White House then we'll know they want to be taken seriously. Although it would be nice if they had a clearer agenda and more thought out solutions.

How can you have a country and a government for the people and by the people when it is entirely infested with individuals hell bent on protecting the interests of an extreme minority of the population? Our entire government from top down has been poisoned, we have no where else to turn except the streets now and to exercise our damn rights to protest. Big banks and corporate interests represent a far, far greater threat to American democracy than supposed 'terrorists' half way around the world.

I have a novel idea. Why not express your views in the polling booth?

Shirtless, tatooed, drum beating people rarely result in any action. It sure provides some interesting entertainment, but that is about it.

The funny thing is that these same people believe that communism is the route to go. Do they not understand that the same small elite have all the power and money in that system as well? The only difference is that you no longer have your freedom or rights. What the hell are these people thinking? I guess they are not (thinking).

Yep. Let's hear the explanation for that.

Canceling debt is the FIRST THING we do after the revolution. Everybody keeps whatever stuff they have. Then we start over with a cash and carry only economy. Should be ineresting.

Yes that's right those protesters are all hippy socialists looking to increase getting a freebie from government. A corporation or bank could NEVER be corrupt, a corporation or bank wouldn't never look for a handout or put its interests above the nation like those hippy socialists do. Corporations and banks are all hard working patriotic Americans living by admirable moral codes that go to church every Sunday and live a Mayberry "all American" lifestyle of god, family and morals and apple pie and fly the American flag from their houses.
