Occupy is about occupying physical space and creating a physical community for democracy and dissent. Ignoring that is getting off theme.

Now why there are so many Occupy-friendly articles on Forbes, probably has something to do with the number of anonymous Paulbots working there or something. But this article (see link) doesn't read like a fan of Ron Paul -- it reads like an unreconstructed leftie libertarian idealist.
