#OccupyWallStreet. Why is this not getting major MSM attention?

How did you determine all the protestors emotions and motivations? It sounds like an assumption to me unless you want to provide some meaningful evidence backing it up. Attacking motives just ignores the actual issue.

I am basing it off the list of demands that I linked along with the other list that was posted.

I don't think the legality of something has anything to do with someone being greedy or not.

I think it does. There has to be a line to cross between being greedy and not being greedy. Without one, I can just as easily paint you as greedy as these protesters are painting Wall St.

If someone had all the food while everyone else starved, I would consider him greedy even though the law says he can do whatever he wants with his food.

So who determines how much food he is allowed to have?

Instead we should focus on whether the current laws are the best policies or not.

Of course they arent. They were drawn up by men and women whose first and only goal is re-election.

No I am not saying all lawyers should be paid the same. I am not arguing about lawyers salaries at all. What I am arguing is that the justice system should treat all people the same and letting some people have great lawyers and others terrible ones is not an effective way of acheiving justice.

So should everyone have a crappy, low budget lawyer or should everyone have an outstanding lawyer? If everyone is going to have these great, high priced, lawyers, who is going to pay for them when the defendant cannot?

Do you think OJ would have gone free if he had a terrible lawyer? Do you think justice was served in that case?

OJ got off because of a corrupt, racist detective forging evidence. Without the doubt that was created by Furman, OJ was toast. Back to your point though, I dont know that a cheap lawyer would have been able to find and take advantage of that forged evidence.

It's not accurate in my opinion because my definition of successful does not require making money. I don't want to debate semantics, I just found it interesting how differently we define "successful".

We dont differ as much as your think. Success doesnt require making money, money is a byproduct of success. It doesnt matter what your area of success is. A successful writer sells more books and makes more money. A successful firefighter gets promoted and makes more money.
