A Few Quick Thoughts on the OWS

OWS participants are addicted to outrage; especially to the self-serving, self-righteous kind that assumes their demands should trump everything - tradition, culture, laws, reality.  It's a surplus of self-regard powered by an unrealistic assessment of one's importance married to emotions unchecked by practiced reasoning.  How else to explain the people's mike? Wake up!  You look ridiculous!  And it's incredibly inefficient!

This week it's the bankers and Wall Street, last week it was global warming and the Palestinian right of return.  Remember when it was our illegal war in Iraq before President Obama?  No?  But now student loans are coming due and someone must pay for our current economic woes.  Let's all agree that if Bush was still in office, this would be an Occupy the White House movement instead.  But as your team is in, you chose the bankers instead. 

I understand you were promised so much by so many admirers - parents, teachers, peers, yourself - only to find out you too have to make your way in an unsure world, like the rest of us.  And now you resent the college debts and the lack of prestigious jobs.  You wanted to profit from a system built by others that had so far favored your kind, and when you learned that it wasn't going to be so easy, you blame the system.  And now you demand we change the system to suit you, or else...and there is an "or else".  You have nothing to offer the world but the sturm und drang of your recycled slogans and arrogant demands. 

It's at the end of the you-are-so-special rainbow.  Go get it!

I think we can safely assume this shining star is unfettered with college debt.  She must be protesting some other debt, like of logic or something.

I talked to your parents.  You got the sentiment mixed up.  Guess what (or who) your parents really don't want...

Again, two brave souls against the pitiless State machine.  Even the Syrians are with us:

More OWS Truth Placards

For a second there, I thought this was a scene from Syria...so brave.

The People's Smirk - Pass it Down

Somehow I suspect these people aren't missed by those they left at home.  Upside to everything.

Tough Times Must be Relative

I can barely wait until we nationalize our movie industry and I can watch all of her movies for free!

OWS Protest Signs

Why, no, I don't have Photoshop, why?

Stupid Pet Picture Thursday

Ever since that meteor passed by, he's been acting oddly....and those eyes.   I refuse to bend to his will...his evil, evil will.  But whatever the red egg shape thingy wants me to do, I'll do.
