No matter what you thought of the original, grassroots message of the early occupy movement, they should have been allowed to voice their message of protest in a...."pure" manner, for lack of a better term. Any large scale movement in America is bound to be compromised...and it's message inevitably lost. It sucks because grassroots activism is a cornerstone of our American freedoms. These days, while we still have that freedom, it's doomed to fail before it even starts...so what's the point? I'm sure there are a lot of decent, idealistic people within Occupy who are just as disgusted with what's become of their movement as the rest of us. Same can probably be said of some Tea Party folks. It sucks, but I don't know what can be done about it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:351169 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
