Woodstock is a good example because the half million or so people who attended did so by breaking in. They then went on to destroy the grounds and demand that the authorities provide food and water. Gratis, of course.
Then the generation of Love and Peace went on to become the wall street CEO's that today's occupiers are b*tching about.
Is this really what we want? A generation who gets their way by complaining rather than doing?
A segment of our population who need safety in numbers rather then letting their voice be heard by taking their business elsewhere, or by voting in the proper candidates, or by making something of themselves and maybe build a corporation that embodies their utipian socialistic goals?
In a capitalistic market, if these people truly represent a populist movement, won't corporations take advantage of this by targeting their business?
Shouldn't these people all own Fords rather than one of the foreign cars or a domestic government motors vehicle?
Couldn't they take their banking to the small local banks?
Buy their goods from small local shops?
And most importantly, shouldn't these protests be outside the various colleges and universities instead of on wall street?
Tuitions have gone up must faster than inflation. Hell, tuition has risen faster than even healthcare costs.
Half of the young adults who are protesting are complaining about tuition bills. $120k in debt and no job. But they blame the corproations for not having the work load to hire, rather than blaming the colleges for over-charging for a useless document.
This is class warfare. And it started not with the recession, but rather with the president, who has endorsed this rubbish from the start.
