Seriously. Let them do their thing. They aren't hurting anyone. Some people who were already having problems in their lives (including addictions, mental health issues and homelessness) have moved from one street or park to the Occupy camps and have brought their issues with them, but the elite concern for them is transparently hypocritical bullshit.
The idea that they're dirty and dangerous is bullshit.
The idea that others can't use their parks or camp-sites is bullshit.
The idea that they're just squatters with no purpose is bullshit.
Drooling morons like Terry Glavin have taken time off from brown-nosing imperialist torturers like General Stanley McCrystal to yammer stupidly about how the camps are a waste of time.
I'm skeptical of the Occupy Movement. But I support it and that means I support their right to a permanent occupation of St. James Park.
I'm skeptical of all their hopes and dreams but I'm on their side.
What is a movement that is trying to resist corporate control of the state supposed to do when the state arbitrarily decides to remove them? Meekly acquiesce? Yes, it's about more than the camps. I think the Occupiers know that too. They're just resisting for the sake of resisting perhaps. And I'm okay with that because resistance is the whole point.
