With the occupy Wall Street movements/OWS continuing throughout the US with still no real coherent message or purpose, you can't help to feel a slight bit of pity for these fools. After all, the weather is getting cold and since gas generators are not allowed they have been resigned to taking turns riding on stationary bikes to create power for their iPhones and laptops so that the movement can be out there communicating. It's sort of like gerbils on the wheel expending energy but going nowhere. Well such is the case with the whole OWS movement. Lots of energy being expended, lots of attention from mainstream liberal media plus support from the Michael Moore types of the world but really where has this movement or lack there of really moved? Other than making a mess and living life refugees what have they accomplished? I understand causes and the passion some feel to support them, but what possesses someone who claims to have been “wronged” by the evils of society to give up what ever belongings and comfort they might have to go and live in a makeshift tent city. Now if these folks had been forced to live this way by the "man" they would have screamed to high Heaven. Aren't living conditions like this the very things they are protesting against? The fact that people of an evolved society have stepped back in time to recreate the daily lives of pioneers is certainlly questionable. They claim to want more (free of course), but so willingly they settle for so much less! Do these so-called occupiers really expect the 1% to just turn over to them all of there wealth just because they whine that they deserve it? The truth is that this group is predestined by their own doing to fail. They are the product of years of liberalism that has created 2 to 3 generations of people that have been told that they are not allowed to do anything more than fail. Corrupted and cultivated by academia they grow like bacteria in a petri dish told that it is everyone else's fault for why their world sucks!
They are told of the successes in the world and the benefits that it brings but yet they are not sold that success and riches are not easily attain. One must put forth effort and hard work to make it in this world and guess what, sometimes even that is not enough. Instead this group is told that anyone who has achieved success and the riches that go with it are evil greedy and corrupt people and should be taken down. It is unfair in their eyes for anyone with more than they have to be left alone.
Now it is understandable by human nature for a certain level of envy to exist. I myself have been guilty of envy from one time or another to look at what someone has or what they have accomplished. But yet I don't begrudge those who have achieved more than I, but instead I tried to find out what it was that separated them that made them much more successful or more wealthy than I and maybe and just maybe in doing so there was a hope that I might be able to find new ways to increase and improve upon my own position. But with this group it's different, they've been taught that the finer things in life they want, they are entitled to but yet they don’t work and aren't really contributing to society in a way that has earned those privileges. But in their minds they really don't see success as achievable instead they are set upon the easy path to failure because it's much easier to fail because to do so you don't have to do anything! Just sit on your hands and only occasionally raise them to point fingers at others for your shortcomings. You could just look at the failures and then blame other individuals who you target as the evil rich for why you can't achieve and have what you want in this life. Such is the "doom" prophecy of liberalism!
Just look at the events of this past week with the occupiers in Oakland who shut down the fifth largest seaport in the nation. In their quest to hurt the “evil rich” , really who did they hurt but the everyday people. They kept people from getting to work, they kept truckers from picking up and delivering goods and those goods may have been food or medicine or other service items needed by the people. They kept local business owners from operating their businesses and making money. So again who did they really hurt the everyday people. The irony in this situation is that I would venture to guess that the Oakland Seaport and all of the truckers who pick up and deliver goods in and out of the seaport are all members of unions and it is the unions that are behind this occupying movement so in theory they are fighting amongst themselves but too ignorant to truly understand.I guess though that there is one bright spot going for the occupiers because if they are successful in really tearing down capitalism and this government it may lead to more and more of us living in the streets. Food supplys may dwindle and overall panic may ensue. And I can tell you nothing good will come of that! But it seems that they already have a head start on living like refugees ahead of the rest of us but hopefully this country will wise up and it won't get to that!
