I'm honestly not sure what to make of this movement. I'm very much against Wall Street (maybe even a bit anti-capitalism) so I can understand the general, non-specific complaints they have. But at the same time, the more general a protest is, the easier it is to be co-opted by every other cause. And once that happens, it'll never be taken seriously in politics. =/

Lookup Gini Coefficients. It has to do with the distribution of wealth in regard to a completely evenly distributed system of wealth. Kind of interesting stuff. Apparently Occupy Seattle was mediocre. Supposedly sold a lot of hot dogs though.  Quote:Razor: As hard as one might try no one will ever be able to pull one over on Super Penguin. Backpack of Win

Goddammit Gunslinger. Yeah Rik, I feel the same way about the Tea Party as well. Politcally I'm a moderate, but I can get behind their ideas. As soon as its in practice, DERP. No thanks. =\ Why can't a bunch of people get together and be more smarter instead of poopy dumb heads?
