[QUOTE="804brown, post: 903290, member: 29553"] Are you kidding me?? They "want everything"?? Do you not hear what they are saying?? Then listen:they say the 1% have taken our homes through an illegal foreclosure process, they have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity and continue to give incredible bonuses;they have created inequality not seen since the 1920s, they have poisoned our foods, air and water with their factories, they have stripped employees of their right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions; they have held students hostage with tens of thousands of $$ of debt for college; they have outsourced our laboir to other countries, they have influenced our courts to say that corporations are people; they have bought and sold our pols;etc This isnt about THEM. It is about all of US!! These kids are not selfish idiots playing video games or watching some moronic reality tv show. They see a rotten future ahead a real reality and are taking a stand to prevent that from occurring. Over the years I have spoken about "the kids today" as lazy because they seem clueless to what is going on around them. You know them : the "whatever" generation!! But I think this latest generation is on to something here. Ive been down there in OWS NYC several times. I watch them and talk with them as well as at times offer some advice. They are bright and aware and SELFLESS. Sharing food, umbrellas, etc. They understand that another world is possible. And they will stay out there until that day happens!! [/QUOTE]
