Skeptical, so I want up there and investigated. Now, I feel it is a good thing. Holding the powers in check. Young people are realizing that it won't be easy for them. The banks went to America for help under the threat of the worse recession ever and we came to their aid. Still we got the worse recession ever.... hmmmmmm....
I like the way that everyone has an opinion when hardly anyone has taken the time to see what it is all about. It has changed the way I consume news forever.

I think it's pretty cool. And I think it's about goddamned time that normal people ( the 99 % ) stood up for their rights

I watch updates on Democracy Now. I feel that today's news is too biased.

It's about time. I'm surprised they didn't bring firearms.

I'm up for anybody who is willing to challenge the way things are. They could use better organization but I like it.
I don't get why channels like Fox News are all up in arms over these protesters yet they love the Tea Party.

It's baffling Mr. Freeze---because wasn't the tea party upset about similar things? The bail outs. And they were so disruptive, that ordinary citizens could not voice their concerns at townhalls because they were shouted down. Fox news celebrated that.
My UU pastor said something very interesting this Sunday. She said that by keeping us all fighting each other, the powerful get their way. It doesn't matter what we stand for, as long as we are fighting and not united. I have high hopes that Occupy Wallstreet will prove to be a uniting factor. According to those that are there, many political views are represented, but all agreee that corporate corruption has corrupted our politics and economy. Fox news serves their masters by pretending that there is no unity---I think there is much more unity than the media will admit.

"I don't get why channels like Fox News are all up in arms over these protesters yet they love the Tea Party."
First of all, I watch several news channels and I have seen no "up in arms" reporting on Fox any more than CNN.
Secondly, it seems a terrific waste of their energy and our public resources that this movement has not expressed their issues plainly, preferably through a spokesperson.
Picket signs are a confusing source of communication for those who would like to know exactly what it is they are demanding.

Just a bunch of socialists, no, a bunch of adult children of overindulgent parents who believe that the world owes them a living, throwing a temper tantrum.

Have any of them made a proposal?
Do any of them have answers worth listening to?
