> [@Terr](#): > > [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-YDX8MsmWA&feature=related](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-YDX8MsmWA&feature=related) How about some context before I watch a ten minute video. Also, I refuse to read words that go across the screen like the beginning of Star Wars. It was hard enough to read in that movie and I can’t believe people still think that’s novel/original 35 years later. So, wanna tell us what it’s about? In more words then “Another boring Occupy Wall Street video that probably says the same thing as all the other ones” ---

Because then he wouldn’t have the satisfaction of tricking presumed liberals into watching a conservative slam on Occupy. ---

Boy, **Idle Thoughts** and **Ellen Cherry** are both a lot nicer than I – I’d’ve locked this and told you to try again, probably in GD, with an OP that had actual content, if I’d gotten here first. **twickster** , MPSIMS moderator
