Right. OWS needs to re-focus on the issues that matter most to the 99%. Low wages, CEO's who today earn 343 times the average workers wage, a broken healthcare system that entirely leaves out 49 million people, an expensive education system that requires our young people to be debtors by age 22, high unemployment still reported at over 7%, and what ever happened to the banksters that caused the Global Financial Crisis? Oh, right, nothing.

What we need is an economics system that works for the masses and not an economic system that works for the greedy grubbers at the top.

You are so right BW. I really do not understand how the gap between ceo and janitor has grown so wide. Of course, sports stars and movie stars are over compensated as well.

Most discouraging is the fact that the banksters who engaged in criminal financial fraud have not had their day in court. Shame on Holder's DOJ for that one. College admin and coaches make far too much money, too. I have a hard time understanding how college costs have exploded relative to what it cost me in the 70's.

Cost of a college degree has increased 1120 percent over the past 30 years:

Wow! I doubt many of today's grads (BS Finance) are getting 144k as a starting wage. My first job was 12k, an amazing $6/hr but it exceeded the cost of my 4 yrs on campus. In fact, I doubt many kids are landing jobs that cover their 4 yrs in 1 yr

should I answer the question of the Walmart design? or the Veganism issue?
Ok, lest answer the question. 1- Occupiers pushe their ideologies infront the organization, creating a Tower of Babel that one goes anywhere. 2.- The lenguage is obsolete. 3.- The Core of the issue in never explore. There is a single reason why all what we complain is happening. 4.-Lack of Historical Accuracy. We can base the history we have learn in school because is partial and incomplete. 5.- We should understand the Evolution of things in History, the trend, the orgigins. 6.- We don't live in CAPITALISM any more. 7.-We can resolve a problem from the same perspective it has been created. Change the perception, see the Global conection between issues, there is a patter, there is a Core. 8.- All the problems we are seeing are created by Corruption. The only thing against Corruption is Truth. No my truth, your truth or their truth, but an universal Truth in which no one can refute, just react. 9.- Too much posers. 10- Too much Canadian Anti-Globalization people. 11.-SIMPLIFY! 12.- Communism is more a Reaction than an Ideology. 13.- Corruption has no faith no ideology. 14.- Too much EGOS 15.- Ask for REFORM not replacing one bad thing with another bad thing. Revolutions are so uncontrollable that no one can be assure of the outcome.

eggs have always be sought for nutrition by other animals

some say mammals evolved while eating dinosaur eggs

baby food by genetic design is built to feed an organism.

we grind the grist from plant seeds(eggs) under the mill stone

Eggs yes, but slurping some cows milk is something I'm not too into these days. I used to drink the whole milk, then skim, now I cant stand any of it.

milk is similar to eggs because the product is meant to grow life

but milk is not for every body

Cows crap from their udders?

You're much weirder than I thought.

More twisted too.

How do manage to buy all your house flipping supplies from a local manufacturer, instead of those wonderful Kocks?

water and white vinegar. I usually mix half and half. More vinegar is a stronger cleaner but you have to like the smell of vinegar. It's good for cleaning a whole lot. There's your all-purpose cleaner. It's mighty cheap too. Give it a shot.

Oh dear no, flipping, not cleaning. A dash or two strong rubbing alcohol, will help it dry faster and create fewer streaks.

Fit's you to a T.

Thanks for the added info.

Hey!!???

Have you followed the money in N. Carolina yet?

How about following the money in Florida instead?

How about an ounce of truth from you?

That would be very useful, though I suppose it would also be very difficult for you..

Protesting only supplies the elites with a source of entertainment. They laugh at protests because they know they don't have to respond to you. The people have the power to unite and order them out of the USA. Stop protesting and take action to throw them out. http://autismfraud.blogspot.com/2013/09/overthrow-our-damn-government-right-now.html
