Here's the thing Ravi, my daughter goes down there from time to time, and protests with those kids. She is a wonderful student, and a good kid and so are most of the kids who she associates with. I only have that to go on, and can tell you based on that, I would hesitate to condemn a whole group of young people who have nothing but the best of intentions, even though I may not agree with everything they stand for, based on the actions of perhaps one person with an agenda.
Serious question. What is your daughter protesting? And the other kids what are they protesting out of Phoenix?
I watched an in depth program on a very very left wing news station (CBC) who were desperate to make heads or tails of what the protestors in Washington wanted and even they couldn't pull out a coherent message.
So what's up in Phoenix? Does Occupy Phoenix have a message that makes sense?
No. It may have early on but now no one knows what they're doing. What do they want from Phoenix? They should just list their demands clearly and concisely so people can understand what they want. I'm sure cities like Phoenix and Oakland have no idea what these people want from them. I can understand hating on Wall Street and the White House,but these "Occupations" in these cities makes no sense to anyone. Their time is up. Now it's just boring over-kill. They've worn out their welcome. It's over.
Agreed. Up here we had Occupy Toronto and the protestors were there protesting of course the ever elusive corporate greed, but also not enough bike paths in Canada, shutting down our oil industry immediately, demolishing all zoos and freeing all the animals and stopping hockey violence.
ETA: When I heard the demand to stop all hockey violence I knew these people were freaking lunatics.!
