You are one of the few who actually get the point of it. A multitude of people with a multitude of desires that they feel they are economically inhibited from pursuing. They know that their parents were not so constrained.

LOL I, for one, am not shocked at all.

Were you referring to the Tea party of the 18th century or the 21st?

The "18th" had some "unlawful stuff going on, too, even violent.... and guess what? It started a COUNTRY!



It is not about people disatified with their "life position"... it's AMERICANS disatisfied with how bad America's economy is and want change.

Will you find particpants with all different views, education, ideals???

YES!
Because they are AMERICANS!

That's the cold, hard truth.
I know poor decision on his part. He chose not to keep his teeth.

And how valid is your vote when ALL of the candidates serve the interests of the corporate elite?

We know too little about these people to really judge them. All we know is what they wrote on the sheets of paper. But, really, I've been shaking my head for the past 20 minutes while reading some of these. I have the general feeling now that 99% of these 99% need life coaches and their mommy's.

lol

Even if that's the case, what do you say about the unemployed engineers out there. There are tons of unemployed engineers. Civil engineers are not doing good now. Since the housing boom ended, construction took a hit. Hence, why the civil engineer field is meager.

In the private sector, tons of software engineers are getting laid off.

LOL....it comes down to priorities. Were teeth more important than that $80,000 degree (or other debts)? Sometimes you stop what you're doing to take care of yourself, which he clearly did not do. So yes, I have to agree, he chose not to keep his teeth. That's his fault, not mine.
