Ron Paul 2012?
There are quite a few rotten apples in the bunch at OWS. I feel more are doing harm than any good. But in history everytime there has been a shift in mankind economically or socially it has always been extremely turbulent. Thats why I feel its only going to get worse (worst?) :P... I agree they are totally going at the wrong people they really should be asking for government reform and not so much begging the 1% to pay more in taxes :/. It just seems like that the OWS melting pot does not have one sole objective. It seems like everybody is there for different reasons. And the police brutality doesnt help either.
I am 23 and growing up I was always told you need to obtain an education so you can get a great job and not have the hardships we once faced when we were younger. Parents always stating that we work hard so our kids dont have to, and somewhere along the lines I feel this was embedded into our work ethic. I do agree with some of the "older" crowd when they state that todays youth is not willing to do what it takes to "obtain the american dream". A lot of us have become lazy or just really believe that things are owed to us. We go to school, get into college, graduate college and should land a great job in our field right? WRONG. Thats La La land maybe plausible in a great economy but we all know the economy has its ups and downs and our economy is in really bad shape as of now. I have been following OWS since it started and some of the older crowd are upset as well just as upset as the younger crowd and our government does have a lot of fixing to do. The good I see coming from OWS is there is not a single leader. Meaning the police can arrest and do as they please to anybody and its not going to stop the movement. Unlike MLKJ or Malcom X. Another good thing coming from OWS is awareness because before OWS I had not clue about our troubles in America. But they really need to organize better and start making some demands that are clear and they really really need to shower :P... Some of us are just fortunate enough to have jobs and decent ones at that. OWS is going in our history books I just hope I dont need to buy a gun to protect myself from riots or "overthrow" if things get out of hand because I really really hate guns.
