    OK, now that was funny, and I hate to change the tone and say something serious, but will, and that's this, as evidenced by those two video and the following one below, I'd say Occupy has turned an important corner, they are beginning to see that, while some business is greedy, government is complicit and equally to blame.



    This is seen now even by noted economist and liberal Joseph Stiglitz in his The 99 Percent Wakes Up: "the world is finally rising up and demanding a democracy where people, not dollars, matter—the best government that money can buy just isn’t good enough." He expands on this:
    ...There was increasing disillusionment with the political process. Youth participation in the 2010 U.S. election was telling: an unacceptably low voter turnout of 20 percent that was commensurate with the unacceptably high unemployment rate. President Barack Obama had promised “change we can believe in,” but he had delivered economic policies that seemed like more of the same—designed and implemented by some of the same individuals who were the architects of the economic calamity. In countries like Tunisia and Egypt, the youth were tired of aging, sclerotic leaders who protected their own interests at the expense of the rest of society....

    ...The failures in politics and economics are related—and they reinforce each other. A political system that amplifies the voice of the wealthy also provides opportunity for laws and regulations—and the administration of laws and regulations—to be designed in ways that not only fail to protect the ordinary citizens against the wealthy but enrich the wealthy at the expense of the rest of society....
    The problem isn't the wealthy but a corrupt government that via crony capitalism sells favors and protection for power.

    No, I can agree with that. It's the socialism of America come full circle and is a problem that at this point I believe to be unstoppable. When we have a neo con who is as bad as the progressive we have in office running on the opposite ticket, what do you do besides move to a different country?

    Start a revolution. Like the Tea Party Movement, or, now, OWS. Make me an extremist? Don't think so: "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it...."

    This is probably the most inaccurate, prejudiced, bigoted, hate-filled piece of media I have seen yet from the right wing yet. Congratulations.


    Did that dumb-ass in this video pronounce "Bono" like boe-noe? Dumb $#@!. And you endorse this.


    Shame.
