Occupy New Orleans has kept the bums from begging at street lights. They are following the free food and whatever else they can get free over there. So I guess I should say thanks!
They're occupying the area in front of City Hall. Which is kind of ironic since the policies of N.O. City Hall have already run most of the capitalists out of town. There are plenty parts of town that are capitalist free and full of government cheese. They are also the parts of town that are disgusting and dangerous. Go figure.
Anyway, while there may be better examples of uselessness and aimlessness than Occupy N.O., I can't think of any. Unless they're willing to ante up some cash, they probably aren't even enjoying the great street musicians or food of the city.

That was one guy who was probly a Ron Paul supporter [...] that guy is the lone voice in the crowd.

So you believe the guy interviewed by RT is just some random protestor.
Show me what democracy looks like?
Ok, check out the Arab Spring.
The choices are up, you can choose your dictator, I don't care. Enjoy.
Ask yourself, if they're the 99% wanting change, why are they echoing one man when they respond in cadence to, "THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE"
Indeed, this is what democracy looks like. The 1% leading the 99%.
So incredibly funny.

I'm sorry but I find this funny for a different reason than most on here find it funny. These Occupy Groups are filled with people who are simply following the beating of a different drum. They honestly believe they are some grass roots movement, but I suspect they are nothing but puppets from very wealthy, very "corporate" types and Unions who are quietly funneling in money, supplies, and literature. Mark my words everyone reading this, in the end we are going to be no nearer real change, these groups are going to find out that their support have dirty hands just as those they are protesting do, and all involved are going to be even more disillusioned than before.
Btw, Fox News doesn't lie any more or less than CNN or MSNBC, lol they are all rotten lol.

As the Occupy Wall Street protest enters its fourth week, the anti-capitalist rallies are gaining ground in other parts of the U.S. and around the world. View citizen footage here.
In media, perception is reality. By branding them "anti-capitalist rallies", that is what they become in the minds of the reader.
Why not "anti-corporatist rallies"??
That's what we need, that's what they SHOULD be. And that's what they WON'T be. Both because the corrupt elite media won't allow it, and because the ignorant people can't even understand it.edit on 10-10-2011 by Observer99 because: edit
