"On a last note, we all need to take this country back by whatever means available" ,,,,,,,,
so you are suggesting violence is a viable means in response to the injustices you noted. Surly violence fits into "whatever means available," Right? and we do see it occurring in OWS. You mention how dissatisfied you are with wars but yet you condone violence as a means with OWS. So you write the rules stating the US is wrong to force their ideals on a vicious people who deliberately kill Americans but yet you support "whatever means available." Obviously you are bothered by opponents of OWS. Have you ever considered organizing with efficiency. Writing up a plan and getting support because I can assure you there is not shortage of support. If you want your voice to be heard and desperately want change, don't discredit yourself and lower your ideals to violence which is illegal but keep you cool and be persistent. If there is truth in the concerns, which there are, than don't throw it all away with acts that lead to discrediting the movement. Keep your cool and be the spokesman for a local like minded group. I am sure you do not like the tea party but they followed the rules and got recognized and have a place in the political arena and play a big role now in the election.
"What have you done for your fellow patriots"
We get up every morning and contribute to our own prosperity earning a respectable living. We blame nobody for our own condition for life is a series of decisions. We applaud the opportunity to be as good as we can be. If we are driven we strive. If we are content than so be it. We do not demand others to give us what is not ours, that is theft. I suppose your position of "whatever means available" could include stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, but than again that is illegal.
OWS has a poor track record and is not being heard and the blame is their own. There is merritt on some of what they stand for but everything in society has a systematic approach to change and OWS does not understand that. I agree, the system is broken and I want change but do not blame capitalism. Don't come in here spewing crap about service people because you have no clue. They follow orders and NEVER dispute the order. They give their lives to protect weather you like it or not. Next time you see 3000 American people die because the are Christian and embrace Democracy don't insult the people who willfully follow orders to respond with force. Instead, follow the systematic approach to be heard other wise you are have no voice. Circumventing the system only set you back and pins a sign on your head saying "dummy" (not you personally.) A wise person learns to discipline themselves and makes know their dissatisfaction with the hopes of change. OWS is like a bull in a china cabinet accomplishing nothing except chaos. You see,,,, I don't say this to insult you because you are my american brother (or sister) and we are united in that. The system becoming broken wasn't forced but rather evolved because of money. Money itself is not the problem but rather the greedy people who will stop at nothing to have more money, remember, "money is the root of all evil." Have we not seen enough that we all can agree on this? Keep in mind other scriptural passages that expound on this concept building a consistent understanding that it's not the money but rather the condition of the heart with the presence of money. I've said enough and I hope you somewhat understand my position. Not asking you to agree but hope you better understand weather I am right or wrong. No change on any level will come about as long as anger drives the heart, can we agree on that?
