Guardian: Jello Biafra: 'Obama owes Occupy big time'

[randome]

6. I conflated Jello Biafra with Occupy. My mistake.

Occupy's intentions -too numerous to truly list- may have been noble but they screwed up by protesting Wall Street instead of the Washington legislators who make the loopholes.

You can't shame corporations or financiers into behaving better.

And you can't even call it robbery when Congress holds the door open and says, 'Here. Take what you want.'

I'm all for raising public awareness but the notion that anyone 'owes' anyone else is ludicrous. You could easily say the reverse: that OWS 'owes' cities for taking over their public parks.

You could say that OWS 'owes' this woman: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014466163

And we could read again where OWS went wrong: http://www.wired.com/opinion/2012/12/a-eulogy-for-occupy/
