Occupy Something?

As we brought in the ideas of the theories of Dewey and Lippmann into class tried to figure out what they would say about the occupy movement and the tea party, I started to think of my impressions of the movement.  What were these people thinking and why do this?  I have a friend go from working a nice job that moved him out to California and paid his rent and food with money left over for entertainment and then he quits because occupy LA people started talking to him and kinda brainwashed him.  It truly makes you wonder if these people have a true purpose in life or is it just to be nuisances to others.  I have walked by the Occupy Chicago area many of times and all i think of get a job people.  You leave your jobs to go sit in a park and moan about a government that has given you alot and protected you and all you say is the government should be destroyed. Think about what you are saying and doing before you open your mouths to spout out anything.  Sure, this may have worked in Egypt but we are not in the middle east, we are in the U.S with a totally different government system.  People dont really know what is going on this world and it is scary.
