Of course this is how out of touch I’ve been lately. I was watching the news before I headed out to work. That is when I find out today is the long awaited “Occupy stinkies” reappear to the dismay of many. I’ve always been someone who believes in the right to protest. My problem is that they mistreat others within their group and they literary live where they are protesting. Not just for a night – No this goes on for days, weeks, and months! Don’t these people have homes? Shouldn’t the majority of student protesters be in class? Moreover is this a way to make a point or just get people annoyed by you? I’m annoyed.
When I went downtown in the fall I couldn’t even cross the street as the stench was awful!! I thought I was going to die.
So I decided to do some research and see if I can find if there were incidents during the 60s that those protesters stayed in tents for months on end. I found not a thing. They had the common sense to go to their homes, take a shower, eat, and sleep in their comfy beds. What I think is the difference is that in the 60s one of the largest issues on the table for the protesters was the war. Today they are protesting for the government to pay for everything (i.e. healthcare). The motive is not peace. Their motive is destruction of the capitalist system.
It’s very sad to me seeing all these people (majority young!) leading our county into socialism. The entitlement society has really reared it’s ugly head. So should we assume that they will be camping out in all these cities for months on end? One must also question why is the government allowing this to escalate to this point. Could they have an agenda? Are funding and supporting the occupy movement? I’m starting to believe so.
One only needs to look at Sandra Fluke. We all know now who got her on TV…
