Okay...no questions about family...I concede. I was upset, he and others are calling me quote on quote stupid. How about no personal attacks either?
In a real debate forum one would not be allowed to use personal attacks. Yes -- this is the internet and I was just going with my gut---that when one calls another "stupid" then they are hiding something.
Politics is rough....but if one can't take the heat, one needs to get out of the kitchen.
I was well groomed in my family kitchen and if it got hot I went to my room and debated another day. The issues today are not going away.
The Occupy Movement is here now----despite what others may think. The social movement will prevail above all.
Why? Because the time is now!
Bare bones... if they could police themselves, show respect and deliver a clear and coherent message, their odds would have improved but they have failed...
The Occupy Wall Street movement has a clear messege. I am sadden each and everytime one says they haven't recieved it.
The messege is that our country is not working. It steams from ambigious laws at all levels of gov. Furthermore, the system is broken. There is corruption at all level of infrastrure. Moreover, remedy to fix the above two---redress gov one grievence is lost subjected to special interest groups.
For thirty plus year think tanks have given our congress game theroy. Game theroy doesn't work with more than two players. This game was purchased by the US Taxpayer from the Rand Group who employed math students.
With this premise--our government found away around our constitution. On one hand they said to the People you will cooperate with us. Meaning, follow all laws, pay your taxes ect. Yet on the other hand Congress was working with Wall Street and played the opposite game on the people. That is --- non-cooperation game theroy.
Just like at the end of the Roman Republic. All government building stood there. The fascade was there. The people in the buildings were there to put on a show for the masses. Here in the US. Gov buildings stand, there departments still exist, yet nothing gets done on behalf of the people. Non-cooperation is the gov wants the people to cooperate, yet they don't have to cooperate with the people. What has been going on for a very long time is the stripping aways of human and civi rights of the people throught the three branches of gov. And at the sametime they have used the tax payers dollars to ensure this happens. Making slaves of all of us and rewarded the thugs and lawbreakers at the expense of the elderly and young.
If ones wants to get technical there are so many cases where a person is holding the weight of the world on their shoulders and can't even grasp the magnitude of their situation, because the gov who was sent to congress to protect the minority----threw them under the bus and sided each and everytime with the billionairs and special interest.
Well the Masses has a special interest also. And their messege is being spread throughout the United States in cities and all over the world. The Masses wants the millionairs, billionairs, and trillionairs, to give back what they have robbed for the people, otherwise the people will occupy there space---our space. This is the Masses Planet. And the people are demanding what was wrongfully taken must be given back.
Society is not a game. Social inequality is not a game. Wanting food, shelter, clothes, schools and protection from others is not a game.
Yet somehow these minimal basic needs are auctioned off daily to Wall Street.
