The dirty hippie argument, I see. People still living in the 1960's and shit. Embarrassing.

I've seen interviews from a few people, including one at NPR and one from Fox News they didn't air. The people interviewed seemed pretty reasonable. It's not like "Wall Street" (the finance industry in general) hasn't engaged in behavior worthy of scorn. There are plenty of books written on the subject, it's not news. Plenty of people have engaged in the electoral process to change that behavior, it did not work (to say the least). This is the next step.

There are going to be nutters in any protest, like the tea party guys bringing loaded guns outside town hall meetings and talking about "second amendment solutions" and shit. That didn't happen that long ago.

dammit. Your.

Who needs to shoehorn anything? Just Google "Occupy Wall Street" and you'll find enough videos of these "occupiers" not knowing why they're there to burn up a four-day weekend.

Left Wing Tea Party Equivalent forming out of this seems likely, MSNBC needs to get on the ball with promoting it into existance, clearly.

You could do the same things with retarded right wing pundits bitching about it.

Every belief fits into the two party system... right guys?

This is America. Every belief is squished into one or the other! You want independant thought move to russia yeah.

You mean there are people involved in a movement that are uninformed and stupid?

Say it ain't so, Joe.

What I don't like about many of the arguments presented by the protesters is the same things I don't like about every other thing. It's not my precise views. That doesn't mean I don't support and empathize with some of their goals. It's easy to say they're just a bunch of people looking for a handout, but that sells the whole thing short. The real message as far as I can tell is that "Wall Street" - read: the heart of corporate america - got the largest handout in history for tragically irresponsible behavior. They're calling it out as bullshit. If anything someone as libertarian leaning as Squall should be all about the 'soul' of this protest - if against a majority of the involved.

Or, just call them faggots.

fuck wall street
fuck corporations
fuck stocks

Stocks are good for getting big things done.
