Two sides

There are two sides to every story. I get the whole "occupy where ever" thing. Some of those people are unemployed, but some have also decided that this is more important than their job right now.It is impossible to see the whole picture if you are not there.

There are some aspects of news coverage and opinion pieces I value over others.

For example, it helps when you talk to people to figure out what they are about though, as this woman did. [And yes, I linked to a Fox story!!]

...rather than accusing parents of raising their children more poorly than you do and all entitled and pierced. I actually feel sorry for this woman's children. She says nothing is "free". I wonder what they have to do for her respect and love. It she did not write this when she was having a bad day, I would hate to see what she writes if she IS having a bad day.

I find it humorous that some people that support the tea party and their protests as All American will call the Wall Street protests a bunch of freeloaders crying for handouts.

It certainly is an interesting juncture of history right now. I'm sure there's not one blanket reason for everyone who's protesting right now. Probably some of them are hard-working, underpaid intelligent people, and some of them are goofs who just want to party in the street. Still, I agree with the overall message that the distribution of wealth is becoming dangerously unbalanced. It reminds me of medieval times where there were a few rich kings in charge of everything and everyone else was a serf living in a mud hut. Substitute corporations for kings and tiny apartments for mud huts and there's a modern city for you.
