Uuuuuhhhhhmmmm weeeel ?????

seems kike either publicity or killing time to me.
Of course I am not an unemployed youngster of the present gen X or whatever and don't see the value in a movement that has a dozen or more goals, idiological POVs or whatever so not really interested in what they are doing.

Haven't gone to any Tea party gewt togethers either so I guess I am part of the silent majority ( you remember the silent majority don't you ? did they ever say anything ? ) .

General protests against a slew of things that may or may not be related but with a chosen location that makes it obvious that whoever chose the location wanted to blame it all on wall stereet as if all the others who helped brng about whatever they are protesting were not also part of the mix.

Well at least they have something to protest even if they are not clear on what all it is .

So given the wall street " occupation " it was aparently decided to spread the wealth and protest in as many locations as could be organised ( or is that DISorganised ) about the country in some sort of sympathetic attempt to spur a movement even if they don't yet have a direction for the movement to go toward.

We at least had a real war to protest even if it was not a " declared " war but more so than a " police action " like Korea. We all kn ew what we were protesting ( namely getting sent to south east asia to get our butts shot off ) .
