Well, this century so far, isn't shaping up to be up to much is it ? Go on, be honest, your life is just....rosy, so rosy you can look down on all the others who just happen to believe life despite how hard they try, just isn't going well for them. Unless of course you are one of the maligned elite with the wealth and power to influence the people's representatives to tip the scales more in the elite's favour. Now I believe the US prides itself on the right to fight for what they believe in, isn't that what these protesters are doing, are they not fighting for change, albeit peaceably, but maybe the force of peace is a step forward from the; do as I say, respect my authoritae law at the point of a gun mentality that does come across rather strongly. So which is ? Are these people who protest for change to be admired or despised ? And if the latter which I highly suspect might be the case, why ?
