While your heart is in the right place, your results are pathetic at best. Sitting around near banks, waving cheeky signs and drinking lattes? Get off your asses. Seize all banking facilities and latte shops! It's time for the People's tellers and baristas to take over. Anyone currently employed in these facilities is an enemy of the state by default, so drive 'em on out. Imprison them if necessary. Who needs their experience or education? . . . So you're a college student who doesn't understand interest rates? Who cares? You'll learn on the job.

As far as baristas, how hard can it be? I know the equipment may break down and no one will know how to fix it, but now you're just pining for the old days. This is a revolution and everyone must sacrifice. Coffee is equally as potent if stirred in a tin of boiling water over a stove. Before long, coffee beans will be scarce on the shelves anyway.

(However, since our leaders will need full access to their brain capacity, a few qualified baristas should be sent to serve the state asap, along with an assortment of only the finest equipment, before everyone forgets how to make a latte and all the machinery breaks down.)

AHAHAHA, wow, classic!

There is probably a large percentage of the movement which DOESN'T think this way, but at the same time I think the sizable percentage which DOES is growing. And it is sizable (perhaps as much as a quarter or third in my opinion).

I just don't think that people are fully acquainted with the notion that 2005 to 2007 were bubble years that will never come back again whether or not we have a free market system or a socialist system, and its got nothing to do with laziness. The next few years should change the minds of a lot of people.

If you think the objective of OWS is to bring about socialism, you're pretty ignorant.
