In the early days of the occupation I saw both signs and youtube testimony from young ows protestors talking about college degrees and no jobs. Presumably if they had those jobs they wouldn’t be angry. I don’t know if that takes telepathy. I will go out on a limb and say that people wouldn’t be protesting the war if we weren’t at war. Generally when somebody says “I’m here because _____,” if you subtract ____, it’s a safe assumption they wouldn’t be there.

I think since then, the movement has become bigger than them.

“I am the 1%. Smithers, release the hounds.”

Saw one on reddit, picture of a scorchingly hot babe, caption something like “This is as close as I’ll ever get to a woman this hot. I’m the 99%.”

I’m sorry, but unless they’ve got teabags dangling from their tri-corner hats, I just don’t know how you expect us to take them seriously.

Best sign so far: A woman and her dog in Alaska, nobody else around, with their sign “Occupy the Tundra”.
