Occupy Wall Street: The Hypocrisy Of The "I" Generation

When I view the state of affairs in our country, there's a sense of amazement at the kid-gloves treatment the Occupy Wall Street so-called "movement" has received.  Can you imagine the reaction by local governments and the press if there were an Occupy Planned Parenthood protest by hundreds of pro-lifers for only one day?  What if we went to the director's home and protested in front of it?  And all of that was done by not even trashing our surroundings and basically doing it in a peaceful fashion.  We sort of have an Occupy Planned Parenthood protest in the 40 Days for Life campaign, but what if there were hundreds out there instead of just a handful?   I think the hypocrisy has already been exposed by how the Tea Party was covered by the press compared to this band of protesters who basically were blabbing the anti-capitalist view.

 I love it that the protesters are anti-corporation while nearly everything they own was made by a corporation.  What would they do if they didn't have their cell phones, laptops, tents, and sleeping bags, which were all made by corporations?  Every generation has their title, such as Baby Boomers, Generation X,  and Generation Y.  This group should be called "Generation I."  They have their iPhones, iPads, and iPods, and they care about one person, and that is "I."  What can everyone else do for me?  How can the greedy corporations that we hate give money to me?  That makes the protesters the greedy ones, but the facts shouldn't get in the way of their message.

These are the same people who scream about their rights when the police and the local government finally tries to remove them from their site.  They want the world to be tolerant of what they're doing, but, as usual, the ones who cry "tolerance" are almost always the most intolerant in their views.  They are intolerant of a corporation trying to make money, for example.  It's none of their business how much a company makes.  The more they make, the more they can expand their business and hire more people.
 
I've heard some say that they want free tuition, so aren't they intolerant of even the government institutions from having enough money to sustain a university?  Of course, this means their fellow citizens would have to pay more to cover their tuition, but who cares, because it's all about "I."  I think we should follow their message of share the wealth.  I have never owned an iPad or iPhone.  Maybe they should just give me theirs.  Maybe they can do my job and give me some of their free time, and it won't even cost them anything.

Just when I thought they couldn't say anything more ridiculous, I heard one protester proclaim that they were discussing new sites after they were finally removed from their park by the local police.  She stated they were talking to people who owned private lots.  Wouldn't that be someone who has enough money to own their own large lot?  Could it be a dreaded business that owns it?  Once again, the facts shouldn't get in the way of promoting what "I" want.
