Because of their lack of message? Both?<br />I too have thought about the OWS protests and they do not look like me, but I understand their frustration. As a teacher I spend 8 months without a job in 2009 and in doing so had my opinions change a good deal. <br />I respectfully (in every sense of the word) ask as well: How do you, as someone who has struggled, not find some solace in their protest against a system that has not benefited you like it should?999,999th Moderatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08583462752573470107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8445486368486463049.post-74473481199072589612011-11-08T18:52:49.117-07:002011-11-08T18:52:49.117-07:00Just surfing the blogs.

I'm too old to understand the many angles brought up.<br />I cannot hear a succint reason in the protest, as to WHAT THEY WANT OR EXPECT! I am deaf so I read they are shouting slogans etc.<br /><br /><br />anyway continue, I hope you and others may someday make some sense out of the present MESS!jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8445486368486463049.post-64911942899022074982011-10-21T14:53:18.064-07:002011-10-21T14:53:18.064-07:00Are the "Occupy" protestor, on the whole...Are the "Occupy" protestor, on the whole, economicaly-illiterate leftist agitators? Yes, I agree whole heartedly. <br />But telling them to create change by working within the system ignores how fundamentally broken our system of democracy is. We have as much a chance of changing our political regime as the Egyptians did.<br />These are the same people who hoped for change when they elected Obama. And what did they get? A GWB third term. This is the root of the frustration. This is what sends people into the streets.Jason Waggonerhttp://worsethanyouknow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8445486368486463049.post-89551199666828667812011-10-19T23:41:24.642-07:002011-10-19T23:41:24.642-07:00Great post!

Yeah, the Occupy Wall Street people are misguided and dangerous. I hope the additional education you're getting is going to pay off one of these days.telemoonfahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037494671465917013noreply@blogger.com
