Has anyone noticed the protesters are using items that they are protesting against? Cell phones, Starbucks, signs made from Staples? All corporations at work.

Kinda ironic ain't it?
So they are all useless students - oh no they aren't - well, they are all unemployed - oh no, lots have good jobs - well they are just part time protestors and not genuine - on and on in endlessly meaningless cynical irrelevance.
This thread is not about thinking - it is about avoiding thought. Those horrible protestors are asking me to think! OMG!! They are saying the emperor has no clothes - ought not to be allowed. Why can't they just go home to watch TV or wander the net in search of the void? (They'll find it on this Forum for sure)
