Rebels Without a Clue

Apologies to Tom Petty, and maybe even Richard Petty. In any event, I'm getting a little tired of the Occupy [Whatever] "movement" that is currently afflicting the nation. As best as can be discerned (it doesn't appear that the protesters quite know what they are protesting) the primary complaint is against corporate greed. I'm not entirely sure there is anyone in favor of greed, it being one of the seven deadly sins and all. I've yet to hear any specifics, either in terms of what they are protesting, or what solutions they may have to these apparently pressing problems, with one exception. They want college to be free and all student loans forgiven. Wonder if they'll make the forgiveness retroactive so I can get re-paid for the money I sent in every month until my student loans were paid off. This protest appears to be just another example of one group wanting the rest of us to pay for their demands. I paid my bills now I get to pay yours. On the other hand my daughter is starting college soon and free might not be too bad.
