Actually, I think most are lining up in support of their right to protest. I also think there is a lot of similarity between the grabbing of soundbites from crackpots or extremists on both sides to paint one as racist and the other as violent stoners (oxymoron?)
I'm pretty ambivalent on these Occupy protests.
do I think there a bunch of people there for the wrong reasons? Absolutely.
Do I think their message is clouded and multi-stung depending on which person you talk to.
Yup.
Are there a lot of them who are really just frustrated, and don't want the world handed to them, but just want to see more opportunities for jobs and careers? I think so. Will these protests go to that end? Probably not.
