Zuccotti Park

It doesn’t matter if Occupy Wall Street (which has expanded to Boston and San Francisco and elsewhere) is lacking a specific goal, or if it feels unfocused or futile or whatever. The fact that a miniscule speck of GenY anger is being expressed is at least something. Or…you know, is better than watching Jimmy Kimmel. Any expression of dismay or loathing or rage about the sociopathic stacked-deck, rich-favoring U.S. economy led and exploited by the Wall Street machine gets my vote. That’s why I’m going down there this afternoon…yeah!

  1. “What’re you protesting?”

    “Wall Street, man!”

    “What about Wall Street?”

    “…………….um……..Wall Street, man!”

  2. The Financial Services Industry committed criminal fraud and illegal deception, leading us into a Global Financial Crisis, which it then profited from with impunity — what more do you people need?!

  5. “Why not protest the White House instead?”

    STFU. If these GenY kids don’t know how badly they’re getting PRISON RAPED by paying for Jeff’s Social Security and Medicare, that’s THEIR problem, SILLY STUPID KIDS.

  6. In an age with any backbone or spirit, the guillotine would have came out long ago. These kids should be supported…even if they couldn’t spell Wall Street, their anger is a hell of a lot more focused than everybody else’s damn apathy.

  7. We live in a plutocracy. We can brag about how we’re a democracy and all where everyone can be happy and live the American dream but, fundamentally, America is not very different from, say, pre-revolutionary France or ancient Rome (just to name two historical civiilzations that were characterized by an enormous gap between the rich and the poor).
