I guess the contrast is what is startling. There are lots of stupid self interested blue hair types at tea party rallies, and lots of worthlessly educated knownothings at OWS rallies. But at the end of the day, it is the contrast in stewardship that is startling. Remember all the claims of racism at the tea partiers? Was there the kind of violence and shabbiness at the tea party rallies? I wasn’t there, but I doubt it . Maybe it is a function of youth vs seniors, but I think ideology plays a role too…
Btw, I support the general frustration, but so far I am not impressed by the prognosis of the OWS folks. If you hate government collusion with greedy crony capitalists, why would you support more government. That strikes me as naive to put it mildly.
Trying to end lobbying is impossible, read some history for goodness sake. We will never be rid of that plague. We can only render it ineffective.
