The fact that many of you sit up here and just stereotype these people and act like you know why they are there is beyond me. It's sad most of you sit back and listen to the bullshit the media pumps and believe it. Just look at FOX to get a good view on how very much they've slanted this "occupy" movement. It's amazing thing to watch. Turning Americans against their own kind all the while they sit back and laugh because you are again blinded by the crooks in Washington.

Let's be clear, the country was originally forged by people who today would be wall street types. The founding fathers were aristocrats, lawyers, and landowners(at the time a sign of nobility). Protests have always had a reasonable limit to what was accepted/tolerated. The whiskey rebellion for example was put down with quite the heavy hand. I believe Rockefeller made a ton off the backs of the working class, and healthcare was nonexistent. Protests are an important part of our society, and I don't see any tanks barrelling thru running over innocents, but they also need to have a level of mutual acceptance of the governmental bodies, and respect for private property. This country has made many significant strides when people (be it women, blacks, anti-war, or civil rights) have protested, maybe OWS type protests will accomplish something but I personally doubt their methods will bring the changes they are looking for.
