My Occupy wall street rant
Honestly… Much like Socialism, I support the idea of this “occupy wall street” business. but I spit out my coffee that I wasn’t even drinking when I read their list of demands… For one reason, it was a list of demands! when is the last time demanding something got anyone anywhere? It is obvious we are dealing with a bunch of overly coddled puss bags. In this world, you don’t demand something and expect to get it unless you are a spoiled brat. No. What you do is find out where you are (point a) then you find out where you want to be (point b) and then you figure out how to get to from point a to point b.you create a list of needs, then you come up with a reasonable and believable method to to get from point a to point b. Then you organize. Grassroots campaigning. Tell people how you plan on getting from point a to point b in public forums. Get the word out. Find electable candidates that stand for what you are promoting. Put them in office. Everywhere. At the bottom. Then, 10 years later, if everyone is still interested in the same thing, you have a chance of it happening. But if you think that a bunch of liberal arts students sleeping in tents is going to change a damn thing you got another thing coming. They do this shit for fun at festivals all summer and everyone knows it. You wanna know why the news shows a bunch of dumb hippies? Cause that’s what the majority of the people that are standing for this thing are. No dountthere are a couple people that scored 4 digits on their SATs (and still could) but the majority could not. Listen I respect the protest. I respect the movement. But I do not respect this abomination of a list of demands. Pathetic. Embarrassing. That is the best that this group could do after this much time. Come on. Demands…. Sure there were some good sentiments, but that’s about it. In the week or so that this has been going on you think there would be some sort of manifesto or plan, not just a list of things people want. Cripes. who ever is putting this on needs to get a grip, cause they a waisting precious energy. Energy that could be used actually doing something. Hopefully a few years from now when these kids are working and have real jobs, and are voting to lower taxes, cause they are broke as shit they can look back at this and try to rekindle some or the ire that they once had. But I’m worried thar this unorganized waste of energy will just leave them jaded after nothing comes of it, but bed bugs, and bunch of wet laundry. It’s the right idea, it’s just not being done right. Now get out there and prove me wrong. Eh?
