no wonder your insight is so valuable. /sarcasm
you mean to tell me you didn't bother to get out of your car and TALK to a protester, but you have the audacity to get on line and bash them??? you didn't have the balls to get out and introduce yourself to them, yet you wanna talk # about what they do.. holy freaking crap..

Why would I go and stand in a park? What possible good would that do? It's the middle of October. It's freezing outside.
Do you even have a collective aim? Do you have an alternative system ready to replace the current failed one?
How far are you prepared to g for your beliefs?
"Give me liberty or give me death!"?
or
"Give me liberty or oh, okay, we'll let you clean the park, can we come back Tuesday?"
I hate to be so blunt because I do agree that the world needs changing in quite a massive fashion but there are alternate methods to the one you've been tricked into doing.

It's an orchaestrated pressure release valve.
Even the timing (October) should be giving you some sort of clue as to the sustainability of the protests. Winter's coming so it has a definite time frame.
Answer me this - has the government done ANYTHING positive in response? Or are they a) concentrating on a campaign for an election a year and a quarter away, b) attempting to start the third world war with yet another innocent sovereign nation purely because of oil and the petrodollar or c) both and a whole lot more you're not going to like?
"It's time for a change!"
And you all went baaaa.....

In what way does loitering in a park constitute expressing the discontent of the 99%?
Are you trying to oust squirrels or something because it's having no effect whatsoever on TPTB.
I know I must sound like a broken record but how about occupying government buildings? The Federal Reserve? The IRS?
Or, most importantly of all, Goldman Sachs?
but, maybe you're on to something with the arboreal rodent thing....edit on 17-10-2011 by Aestheteka because: re
