don't despair when USA Today called the Occupiers a “ragtag assortment of college kids, labor unionists, conspiracy theorists and others” hinting they’re a flash-in-the-pan “devoid of remedies ”
Just remember that famous painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware on Christmas 1776, leading what historians also called a “ragtag” Continental Army, surprising the British, and winning the Battle of Trenton. !!!
Correct! These protests are just the tip of the iceberg. They are very mistaken if they believe that it is only a bunch of unemployed young people. The discontent is across the board and from every age group. Note: What we need first is CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM!!! It needs to be THE demand of the protests. Once we stop the cycle of legalized bribery the voice of the flesh and blood American citizen will be heard again and real reforms will become possible. Get the corporate and special interest money out of our politics!!!
That is definitely one of the major goals, if not THE major goal, of the movement. That and reinstating Glass-Steagall to keep the banks from acting like casinos.
I'm a doctor. And my friends that are involved in the OWS movements are professionals as well.
Washington also had wooden teeth.
No, he did not.
