Re: So do you think there is no cause whatsoever for protest?

I'm talking about apart from how the actual Occupy Wall Street protests turned out, which is not good, do you think there was absolutely nothing objectionable going on in our current system of Government and Finance that merited a protest? Work may not be a right, but certainly we have a right not to be misled and robbed by corporations taking advantage of Government laxity.
I'm not Roon, but I have a question about your question. I feel like you are implying it is only now a problem. Why wasn't it before? This isn't new. This has been going on for decades. Further, why would any protest actually work? When I hear protest, whether I agree with a cause or not, I personally immediately hate it. I feel as though it is the most annoying, unimaginative and lazy course of action to get what you want. It doesn't make me sympathize with the cause. I lose respect for said cause.
Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.
