Re: Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%
I doubt everyone is willing to comply, but the movement at large is courteous, which is one reason I am glad I am somewhat removed, as I certainly am not. Love me some violence.

Re: Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%
What we really need is an Ignore Wall Street movement. Our free-market truly depends on a robust middle class, on transactions at street level, and in our faith in the system. So long as we let them call the tune, so long as we are willing the ride the boom-bust roller-coaster, so long as we expect "economic growth" to exceed the true needs or the populace in order to line the pockets of those who make their living gaming the system, we'll keep finding ourselves back in this sort of mess. Until the have-nots finally gain enough strength to bring it all down, that is. Surely nobody wants that.

Here's your problem: Doesn't a capitalist structure demand have-nots?

Trouble now is, the "have nots" are falling more and more from the middle class, while the wealth accumulates disproportionally at the top. Before long there will be no consumers left to consume the mundane stuff that keeps our economy running. Blows my mind that some folks actually believe this "I got mine/sucks to be you" culture is sustainable. One of my favorite quotations (can't recall the author): If a man tells you he became wealthy through hard work, ask him, Whose? dcb |

Maybe it's true that "without Wall Street" we would not have certain luxuries (that is not a point that can be proven and is hence futile to consider), but why not look at it from the other side; might we have even better things if Wall Street played fair rather than abusing our system of government? This is something plausibly demonstrable, if given the opportunity. Quote:

I believe a self-interested person when faced with a choice will only respond in a selfless manner when faced with a force that is capable of and intends to cause them distress. This is why we need the protests, this is why we need a contingency, this is why we need to not take the movement so lightly. Hardly. If you lap up the propaganda that this is an anti-Capitalist movement and conclude that anti-Capitalist protesters using products of Capitalism is hypocrisy, then all you've done is concocted a straw man fallacy, which is a form of deception, placing question upon either your intellect (ignorant of facts) or character (willfully deceptive). Of all people, I would not side with Alan on this one. On a much related note: More info on the wounded kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpPJ1PWTc6I Quote:

Re: Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%
The sad bit is, from the interviews I've read with Occupants, some of them have about the same amount of a clue as to the mission as that described above.
Even the short videos are tl/dw - do they show or describe all of the events leading to police action? Money says, "never". I suppose comparing result to result and ignoring causes, you can just say that there are inexplicably illegally parked campers in cities around the world, and that there's no evidence of flaws in the economic system, so what in the world are they all up in arms for?

Re: Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%
Ah, the way it's told, the Occupants were given four ignored minutes to evacuate a public park. I suppose that throws number 8 straight out the window.
(EDIT: My mistake - it was a private plaza.) This will not end well. As it is, my upstate wallet is supporting a $3M increase in police funding due to this activity in NYC. I'm a little Occupist off.

Re: Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%
Dreadfully sorry; Frank Ogawa Plaza is a private park - one which the Occupants had already been removed from in their illegal Occupation.
Throwing rocks, bottles and paint cans at police - or anybody - defies rule seven, as well. So much for credibility in their civility.

Cute. Quote:
For one, I credit agent provocateurs and random vandals with most "non-police" aggression, and two, I think WS/NYPD at least should have no trouble proving protester aggression. I know I've seen video with officers walking around with cameras as well. Something tells me they can't prove anything otherwise why would they do this... [Generators and fuel confiscated, cited as safety hazard despite lack of accidents.] Protester violence? Video or it didn't happen. ---- Recent events: Seems to be picking up steam. Seems to also be picking up "anarchists". Truth is you can't control all variables, but what you can do is define your own agenda. OWS defines itself as pacifist, therefore aggressors can not be a part of OWS. It's easy to just include everyone into the same group, to attribute malicious actions to whomever suits your interests, but that is about as logical as saying that your personal ideology is as much at fault or equitably represents whatever crime exists in your place of residence simply because of proximity...
