I'm never opposed to speaking your mind and standing up for what you believe in. Ultimately thats what makes this country tick. However, from the outside looking in, I'm thinking the Occupy movement is becoming a bit... unfavorable (PC version). Are there clear goals? Is it proving effective? Is the idea to live like surfs from medieval times, struggling to be heard from outside of the castle gates? Does "Occupy" refer to the use of public grounds as a toilet like a port-a-potty? I'm not certain.
I do know one thing, and that is I'm seeing more negative response to the "99%", than positive. In fact, as one of the deemed "99%", I'm a bit baffled at how the other 98 are handling this ongoing protest. If determination to make change is camping in public grounds, then the line at Best Buy on Black Friday or waiting outside a theatre for Twilight tickets must factor in.
Well... I'm off to go Occupy 2nd street in Downtown San Jose in protest of the closure of the Flying Pig pub. Mad hatters have not been the same since.

I think I couldn't agree more. The movement has seemed to be more a 'destructive force' than a helpful one. I'm not opposed to picketing and for that matter flat out rioting, but it seems like the majority of these people are just in it to be a part of the fad and not really in it for the change that it's supposed to bring.
Either way, I think the movement itself is very interesting in theory, kind of bad in practice.
Great art by the way, I love to see it all as it comes in slowly :)
