Reply To: anyone else been to OWS

goq…no. it really isnt.

and no not complete laissez faire…they ARE realistic, but definitely more than we now have. about corporations not being able to contribute they mean corporations as an entity. if an individual wants to donate personally they are more than welcome to, however many people there are for donation caps.

also OWS has evolved since it began. the undercurrent of class warfare present at the outset is no longer there, or so i think. the main issue now, as far as i can tell, is corporate influence on the vox populi as it were.

about obamas policies…like i said…theyre not for either side right now. conservative or liberal. both sides, in their opinion, are missing the point. both sides are still open to corporate influence and as such, as far as they are concerned, are not acting in the best interests of the people.

average age WAS college age and a bit above, but the most vocal protesters were all middle aged or in their late thirties and over. level of education varies, but again, the most vocal are usually the most educated. there are of course exceptions like the two unfortunate loons i had the misfortune of encountering…but everyone else i spoke to seemed well educated, well informed, and quite passionate.

oh and its funny you should mention ron paul and the tea party…ron paul essentially started the tea party. look it up 🙂
