It has been crazy since this whole Occupy movement started.I personally have not attended any of the rallies or helped out, but i do support the protesters. I have never been a radical protestor type. Yet, watching the rallies and seeing the cause that the 99% stand for, I cant help but cheer them on. What the gov't and the Uc regents are doing is ludicrous and we have every right to fight for equality, what this country stands for. Thomas Jefferson wrote "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness", but it seems like these people of the 1 % and wall street deny that for most of us. They deny the pursuit of freedom and equal opportunity wealth that our founding fathers stood for.
Still, some people are calling this movement an excuse to be like the hippie-laden sixties movements. I read in an article in the LA times that they believe that it is our generations chance to be a revolution and even though it is "fake", we are protesting just to protest. THAT is the worst part. So, to the 99% movement, keep fighting and pursuing. I thank and respect all of you for that.
