26. What is it with this silly theme?

What is the point? No, they are not the "tools" of anyone. You make it look like OWS has no point but to try to prove they can't do what they are doing, which is protest. If they are arrested they have access to the courts.

What are they trying to do anyway? Just become victims of the cops? That's not going to convince Joe and Jane Average, in huge numbers, to start "the revolution." Crazy.
