Organizers...wait a minute, I thought that it was a grassroots movement?

...I'm kidding, I never thought that, but that was the message that they were sending. In fact, that is really the ONLY message that they are sending. But somehow it's everyone else...the media included...that's responsible for making Occupy's message clear?

And that's where the real crux of the "movement" lays...Occupy's one true belief is that everybody else owes them something, and they shouldn't have to do anything to get it.

Just curious, but where are you getting that notion from?

Every interview that I've seen with them, every chant that they spew with a bull horn...pretty much anytime they open their mouths.

That guy is clearly a fucking moron and the interviewer did justice to showing that. I meant the question as sincere BTW; I haven't been following the whole Occupy Movement, just listened to a podcast or two about it. Looks to me you have 95% of people following a movement and only 5% actually know why the fuck they are doing it, i.e. almost every social movement in the history of the world.

But bottom line is that our financial structure has fucked up, otherwise you wouldn't have people willing to camp out for weeks on end in a park. You keep people comfortable, you keep them pacified. Lately, the system hasn't been able to do that as it has in the past.
