OK... I've tried not to say anything about this whole "Occupy Wall Street" thing, but I feel that now, I have to opine on this situation. I'm all for 1st Amendment rights, but what the hell are these people really protesting? They are really going to camp out for two months on the premise that somehow the people who actually have jobs, and can't afford to camp out for two months, owe them something? They are protesting the 1% of job creators in this country? That makes sense. The fact that this whole situation has progressed into a lawless mob, is troubling. These protests have sprung up in every city in the country, bringing with them, division, insightful violence, filth, and destruction of property. The entire movement seems like a Democratic ploy and distraction from the obvious corruption of the current administration. I am neither a Democrat or Republican, but I have been involved in the Tea Party movement; which was a bunch of citizens with jobs, protesting the size and scope of the federal government. We had our peaceful protests, we cleaned up the area, and we went home. I'm not a big Ann Coulter fan, but she did have a great line about the difference between the Tea Party and the Occupy crowd. The difference was a job, a shower, and a point.
