And now we're terrorists..

[Loke]

While I don't think blocking ports makes someone a terrorist, before you get outraged maybe you should compare it to some other groups who have been classified as being a high risk for potential terrorist - namely Veterans. I'm not saying that it is right to throw those kind of labels around with OWS, but this is far from the most outrageous use of the terrorist label in recent history.

Furthermore, blockading ports and disrupting commerce should be illegal. As the OWS champion Elizabeth Warren points out - everyone contributed to building those roads and what not that they use to transport their goods, so no one can be justified in revoking the right of another to use any public infrastructure.

Honestly, now that the OWS movement has settled down a bit and only the social democrat crowd really remains, it is easier and easier for me to disagree with them. How people can complain about companies being greedy for not wanting to hand over more money while demanding free healthcare at the same is just beyond me. The sense of entitlement is simply sickening. How evil were the banks when people's 401ks and home equity was soaring? Were they greedy when they were making people all sorts of money? People aren't greedy when they want a raise, but a company is greedy when it lays off employees to remain in business. The hypocrisy is strong with OWS.

That being said, fraud resulting from the collusion of government and big business is a legitimate complaint, as is the notion that socialized losses through bail outs are morally reprehensible. I'll give OWS credit there.
