(31,454 posts)people to refute you? You made it UP, and when challenged, you chose to take "me and my group" to task for shit you made up? I mean WTF?
As for OWS, the Ron Paul signs were a dead giveaway. When they booed & ran off John Lewis, a Civil Rights era icon, I was done with whatever enthusiasm I initially had for them. I'm going out on a limb here and "hypothesize" that OWS is comprised of mostly college educated & priveleged white youngsters who don't have much to lose, no matter who's in the WH. The flag burning was just icing on the cake, and a definite turnoff for folks who once empathized with them.
They claim not to be political, so what impact can they possibly hope to have on the body politick? As much as I despise the Tea Party, at least they were able to draft some of the most vile people on the planet to run for office, and guess what? They actually won. Until OWS does something similar, they're just a bunch of folks getting together to bitch & moan. Hell, I can do that from here.
