Missed It by That Much

Just like smallpox and tuberculosis, we were so close to wiping out hippies. Thanks to liberal ideology they’re all making a comeback.

... doh.

Occypy This

Oh ... The Humanity

Look at the bright side; if this all that the children of Stalin and Mao can dish up ... we're safer than we think:

This clip has a lot going on, but it starts out at street level with the NYPD pushing the OWS protesters out of the way to clear a sidewalk. The OWS protesters shout obscenities and one girl even pushes the police officers. A few minutes later that girl is on the ground with a cop on top of her and as you would suspect, the other protesters act like she didn’t do anything wrong and continue yelling at the police.

OWS: Calling a Lout a Lout

Miller:

The “Occupy” movement, whether displaying itself on Wall Street or in the streets of Oakland (which has, with unspeakable cowardice, embraced it) is anything but an exercise of our blessed First Amendment. “Occupy” is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.

“Occupy” is nothing short of a clumsy, poorly-expressed attempt at anarchy, to the extent that the “movement” – HAH! Some “movement”, except if the word “bowel” is attached - is anything more than an ugly fashion statement by a bunch of iPhone, iPad wielding spoiled brats who should stop getting in the way of working people and find jobs for themselves.

OWS: The One Percent

What they are truly demonstrating is the vast failure of the education system. They have no global perspective or understanding of their historical position. They fail to understand THEY are the 1%. My Che Guevara looking friend to the left here stands to earn $1.6 million more in his lifetime than his high school party buddies who did not go to college. This means, on average he will earn $35,500 more a year than his high school counterpart will, and this is just the American part of the story. The average world citizen earns $7,000 a year right now and that is highly skewed, the median income is much lower. Only 19 percent of the global population lives in a country with mean per capita earnings greater than $7,000. Che is among the 20 to 25 percent of Americans that attend college and, assuming he graduates, will be in the upper income strata, likely the upper 20 percent. So, Che here is in the upper 20 percent of the upper 19 percent, which means, globally speaking, he will be among the wealthiest 4 percent in the world. Just like his Woodstock grandparents who became the BMW driving yuppies, he will protest and rail against the man or rage against the machine or whatever and then go earn a very good living over his lifetime and all of it brought to him by capitalism.

Yep ... sounds about right.

Ramblings of the Intellectual Underclass

.... from my inbox comes the response below, which relates to this:

Haha, #5, ministry of whistle blowers to protect whistle blowers....nice!

Haha, #6, raise minimum wage to a "living wage"......how many billions around the world would kill for a chance to make Canadian minimum wage?

Oh boy, #9, end the supply management of agricultural products....great! This is the first step towards Commie style famine! Obviously we can't trust those evil farmers with our crops!

Hey, part of #14 is actually a good idea, Swiss style democracy....not sure what Nunavat style consensus decision making is though haha

Nice, #24, independent investigation into 9/11.....these guys are awsome!

And #26, "Two Police Forces", one to prove guilt, one to prove innocence.....apperently they are entirerly unaware of how our justice system works or what police do.

#34, free Post-Secondary education....I wonder who pays for this? Probably Rockafeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, and the monopoly man.

Wall Street Occupies Wall Street

The Kids in Grade One Talking Circle Finally Became Adults

... but they never did really grow up.

I saw this shite in schools ... from grade one to grade 12 (they passed around a ball or eagle feather) ... and I wondered to myself ... "what in the hell are we creating?"

Now I know ...
