There are a ton of dirt bags that ride dirt bikes.
You, Mr 911 exemplify that.
I am out.
During the beginning stages of the labor movement in the US there were different methods of protest. The AFL was quite deliberate and had a well defined stated purpose. Which seems to be the only method you believe will work. The IWW was not nearly as defined and many of their protests were random and chaotic, but they accomplished a great many things for their members.
We'll have to wait and see if the movement persists and moves to a more focused goal. Movements typically don't start with clear leadership, movements start and then leaders come later.

If you don't know what the 99% movement is about ..........since you are in all probability part of the bottom 99%, it's time to educate yourself about the movement. Honestly, since you work in psychology and therefore most likely have a higher education, I am shocked that you don't understand what the 99% movement is all about. Shame on you!
Even with your explanation, I still find it very strange that 2 or 3 times a week someone feels the need to explain their idea of insanity to you.
Please explain what you meant with the what's the definition of insanity comment?
You won't because you know I'm right. You where going for the, "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again expecting a diffrent result.". Implications in writing need to be thought about before submitting your paper young one.
Sarcasm aside, here's my personal opinion on Occupy Wall Street and their respective city protests... in the simplest terms I can express: If you truly cannot find a job, go create one (i.e. start your own business). When I was finishing college, I interviewed with a a handful of companies that looked promising and recruited quite a bit from our program... I made it past 1st and 2nd round interviews, but was never able to get an offer from any of them. So in my senior year I started a company and worked my ass off. We've been in business now for 3 years now and sub-contract half a dozen people on a regular basis. Everyone has value and something to contribute to society if they look at themselves hard enough and take advantage of their own unique strengths.
I couldn't get a job so I started my own company--creating a sustaining income for myself and half a dozen other people. I'm just an average guy that needed to find a way to support myself and have a purpose in life... more people need to understand that you're not going to get a job (or anything else worth having) by asking for it, you need to go out there and get after it.
FYI: Not saying my way is right or wrong, but based on my experience I can tell you it does work (pun intended).
What does this have to do with motocross? Well for me, I haven't been able to buy a new bike since this latest meltdown started in '08 and I used to get a new one every year...
That's the problem I have with the protest.
I think the 99% vs 1% is good but the constant lack of forethought amazes me. You can't drop an entire system and then say, "Well lets start planning for a new system now" as the economy collapses do to uncertainty.
Both those events caused OWS type movements. The early 1900 financial bust and subsequent working class movement started quite like the present OWS movement. People were angry and started acting out with no clear goals. Eventually leaders developed and organized the movement. The movement during and after the great depression started out with leadership due to many of the organizations from the previous movement still being in existence.
Since the 1950/60's large business has pretty much decimated the working class organizations, so we are back to square one. The protesters will need to keep at it until some leaders emerge.
If the OWSers give up before leadership emerges, the movement will die out.
edit: The two previous movements required quite a bit of violence and terrorism to make change. Hopefully it doesn't need to come to that this time around.
Pit Row
Older people, married, kids, with some assets to protect, typically become complacent and just want to keep the status quo.
The young are usually the ones who make change.
People have the right but media drives it to another level be it good for the proposed agenda or be it blown way out of proportion which is majority media driven.
