BOOM.

ROASTED.

[image: protest sign that says “warning: do not confuse the complexity of this movement with chaos”].

True democracy has as many aims as it does participants.

I was at dinner this weekend with some new acquaintances, and one of them said, “The Occupy protesters just don’t have a clear message! What are they angry about?” I was like “EXCUSE ME. They have SO much to be angry about — Bush tax cuts, unemployment, abortion restriction, corporate greed, underemployment, student loans — that’s it’s hard to boil it all down to one pithy message. That doesn’t mean they don’t have any right to be angry.”
