The only unifying theme seems to be that all these people feel disenfranchised. That no one is acting on their behalf and no one in power represents their views. Thus they are trying to be heard in the only way they know how. That's what I am seeing at least.

All I see is kids with no clue what they are talking about. This has been proven by both sets of grievances that have been posted in this thread.


I do find it odd that the same people ridiculing the Tea Party, which does actually have a set of realistic goals, are praising OWS. Outside of their political leaning, what is the difference? Other than the arrests and the mess they are making of course.
