A picture is worth a thousand words (or less)

So, since OWS is leaderless, some groups will invariably do things others do not....

like making demands. Demands are good, I think, for a movement. It's a target. And the target provides direction.

So, what direction do some OWS groups go in?
What are their demands?




I imagine this is a nearly universal demand among the Occupy movement.

Can we agree that a cuts only budget isn't acceptable?
No, of course not, some of you think taxes are slavery! Wait, I haven't seen Steve_P here in awhile. Maybe y'all don't think it's slavery. But I bet least one of y'all would disagree with a cuts only budget being unacceptable.

Can we agree we need new revenue? close loopholes? create jobs? (i do hope we all agree on jobs)

It's sort of like the morons that never experienced those horrible diseases that afflicted infants and children forty or fifty years ago, so you get these goofballs now that have "read on the Internet" that pediatric vaccines are more trouble than they're worth, so now there's been an outbreak of Whooping Cough in California. Same deal with the EPA. Because it's been a generation now, there's a sizeable majority of people that don't recall how bad things were (e.g. Cleveland's Cuyahoga River catching fire because it was so polluted).

The temptation is to say that if you don't like the EPA then you necessarily want the environment to go to shit, or at the least you don't care about it.

I disagree, I do think there are those that do feel EXACTLY that way.

Oh, I don't doubt it.
