    I see the guy with the "Anonymous" Hackers mask as one of the Philly organizers, but are the people coming out for this just OK with the DDOS attacks against a Philly bank, BoA? Are people just OK with the threats made online against they NYPD? See for yourself here. It sounds like they are threatening harm to th police, not just hacking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=iemJhaLwLvU

    The protesters are laboring to say "oh we are just regular folks with no jobs, or we have jobs and we still want to be out here because of free speech," but Anonymous is posting other stuff about what Occupy[insert city] means. There is some kind of vague threat that Anonymous is going to do something on 11/11 to youtube, among other threats online to police, banks, and other entities.

    Notice how these self-rightous protesters are against corporate greed, but they are using Facebook, Twitter and their I-phones to spread their "measseage" - I.e. using the devices that corporations have made millions of dollars on and made with shipped jobs overseas.

    If your against "capitalism" what does that make you for? Capitalism isnt perfect, but it is far superior than the failed alternatives.

    They're not against capitalism, they're against fascism and plutocracy. The current system of corporate welfare and bailouts is about as far from the myth of free market capitalism as you can get. Free Market Economics is a nice fairy tale, but it only works when corporations fight fair, our current system has so much collusion and price fixing it's anything but a free market.

    Greed is the nature of the Capitalist beast and any profit driven society. It's the abuse and usurping of the laws and regulations in place that allows for such an unequally tipped scale, made worse by the near zero penalization once caught, if ever caught and proven. So, in essence, it's their JOB to be greedy and these companies have lawsuits, investigations and other potential threats to their overall existence writteninto their annual budget. And if all these defenses fail, they just simply .... rebrand, or merge with a reputable former competitor in the name of stockholder survivalism. In this day and age, we can no longer trust the common will and conscience of man alone. Unfortunately. But, we are still the best desing going, and nobody aside from dream pushing politicians has offered up a solid alternative.

    Hey guys I'll be down this afternoon, picking up my new Audi A7 this morning. What a country, the son of a milkman became a millionaire and driving an 80K car. No other country or economic system affords it's citizen the opportunity (THE OPPORTUNITY) to rise up if youre willing to work and are packing the gear to succeed..
