What better way to celebrate the Occupy Wall Street movement than with a Pancake Social?
The Occupy Wall Street protesters are celebrating on Thursday to mark the start of the movement two months ago.
This week they are planning a “Shut Down Wall Street” breakfast?
Wow. Really?
I actually have to wonder what will be served.
Starbucks Coffee?
McDonald’s Egg McMuffins?
Maybe Einstein’s Bagels or Dunkin Donuts?
Maybe this will prompt the spark they need to…
a) Realize the irony of their movement and
b) Get a Life
As I write this I am watching the latest video released from CNN about the planned breakfast.
These misguided (or should I say “misdirected”) hard-core protestors lucky enough to be interviewed on camera were sporting such items as iPods, Blackberry’s, Laptops, Ray-Ban Sunglasses, GAP Sweatshirts, and lots of other creature comforts people built and sold to them.
Yea, F**K those damn corporations, the jobs they create, and all this really cool stuff I am not willing to give up for my cause.
I’m with you man. I noticed the guys interviewed in Oakland Ca. are occupying to stop gang injunctions. And guess what? Berkeley allows protest in front of the Marine Corps Recruiting station but won’t allow the campus to be occupied.
Time for Wine and a Cigar
you really miss the point of the OWS people huh?
Possibly. They are not organized in any fashion to articulate their point (other than corporations suck). Of course corporations operate under whatever laws and tax structures are put in front of them. The politicians are laughing their asses off right now at the distraction away from them.
I love the passion, but they need to direct it towards something with a possible outcome. Saying corporations are evil makes me wonder where they plan on finding work someday. Corporation employ people. People need to work. If they have an issue with how much money a corporation makes (ie: free enterprise) than we need to move towards a complete dictatorship (with all money and profits going to the government). Doesn’t sound like a “free” society to me.
