The Occupy Movement

Right now many places in America have an occupy movement going,and i think i understand why. All over the world people are reaching out for freedom. Within this economy one has little they are risking or have to lose. The part that upsets me is police officers some sworn to protect and to serve, carrying guns in a crowd that is unarmed. I am not too naive to realize guns are everywhere in America, but i remember my Dad saying twenty years ago we needed to go to DC and take America back. I though the was a kook then, but now i wonder. My Dad loved America, bu the saw the constitution being ripped out from under citizens it was written to protect.
Big money will always have power, but if my Joe Citizen doesnt hold the government to account hey will feel they wear bulletproof briefs, and the lack of respect for Americans by their government is appalling. Obama is far form our greatest problem, but if they keep us focused on non-issues they can pay off their great debt on the backs of the American people.
Protest is such an integral part of how we formed America to be, and now they want to limit how many citizens can assemble at one time?
The question becomes for me not is the occupation movement dangerous, but what took it so long? Iti s better to be angry than docile couch potatoes. Make some noise. Let your government be reminded who works for whom.
Or if not, accept like sheep what happens next.
Your choice.
But don't just sit there bleating.
Blessings.
