I understand and empathize with the issues motivating the Occupy movement, but I am VERY tired of hearing the word “revolution” thrown around by people.
Revolution is for countries where people get KILLED for voicing their opinions and demanding their rights. Revolution is not necessary in a country where people wait in line for 3 days in the rain to get Lady Gaga tickets, but sit on their fat asses on election day.
If you are disgruntled and feel you are not represented, go vote for someone other than the two major parties on election day (statistics on young people voting back me up on this point).
I know you must feel like Che, but let’s face it, getting smacked by a cop because you took a dump in the fountain at the park does not make you a freedom fighter sharing the struggle of the 19 year old girl that got shot in the heart for protesting the results of a presidential election half way across the world.
Go home, take a shower and occupy a voting booth, it will yield better results for you in the long run. . . . oh and please don't crap on the sidewalk during your “revolution”: it’s dark when I walk to work in the morning so I’m bound to step in it.
