So it is obvious you have not ever been in the military.

Very nice of you to insult those who saceificed for your freedom.

Why don't you burn a flag or something, got no balls?

Ha Ha Ha...

Any true American respects all those who served this country.

Even if I don't agree with anything you say or think, the respect never waivers.

It's fundamental.

Now, insults aside, and racism gone, what are these people costing the local governments? Is there a unified complaint.....yet?

Nice concession.

Thanks

Well OWS has no agenda that I know of.

Why are there such big bonuses for CEO's and no money going back to basic research and new idea ways. All the money is profit and not reinvested in the company, it only goes to investers and upper management.

America has no future, it has been stolen by the desire for profit.

Sad nowhere land we have here in America.

I stopped by 2 encampments in Davis today to see what these guys are all about.

Here is the demographic: 93% hardcore lefty white males 20-30 y.o. from rich parents. 6% Old white wanna-be radicals from the 60's wearing tilted berrets and staring down any young females in sight.

One guy said he was there to get gas money to get home to Oregon because his wallet was stolen.

One said he was there to protest Wells Fargo because they take money away from the community. (Funny cause I just refinanced with Wells at 3.5% and will save about $300 a month and may spend more at the local pub as a result.)

I asked another guy about their sign "Public Education For Sale". He said he didn't know what it meant and thought it should be taken down.

A fourth guiy said they have no main message or leadership since that would be too similar to corporations.

The last guy had really bad egg breath and I couldn't bear to smell his opinion.

Dispatch over.

My eggs this morning I cooked timed at 8 minutes in rolling boiling water. They were perfect. Would have ate them at 7.5 minutes but...

8000 feet asl.

Oh, and I did have egg breath.

The main Occupy group is on the central quad on campus now near the library with plenty of young clean hard working women walking in sight.

I got a distictly creepy feeling from these people.

There is a "general strike" for Monday so there will be a few token girl-friend protesters.

One of the elder radicals called out that they needed 3 people to ask for donations near the coffee house on Tuesday, and he got one volunteer. Several young and scruffy guys hanging out near the food (eating DelMonte canned peaches and Doritos) acted lilke they didn't hear and kept checking their iPhones.

Apparently CNN or MSNBC hasn't been around much and the morale is quite low.

I get a distinctly creepy feeling from someone pretending to be a news correspondent on a telemark chat site, though "creepy" may not be a strong enough word.

I get a distinctly creepy feeling at how stupid these people are, especially, Pedro Sanchez. Sort of lol you expect there to be some sort of intelligence there, but no there's not. Uncanny valley.
