Does anyone else see the irony in some of the protesters?
They are 'anti-corporate' with their signs and chants....but are using iPhones, Google, Verizon, etc., etc. You can see products from Wal-Mart, Sprint, YouTube, AT&T, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, McDonald's, Subway and other corporate entities visible in the news footage.
Some of them are protesting student loans and how expensive college/education has gotten -- while failing to see that the schools hike tuition and fees every time the government makes more money available to students so as to make college more affordable. You HAVE to see the irony in that! Even more strange is the number of people who think they are somehow "owed" a job. News flash: It doesn't work that way!
Now you see them in Chicago and other cities where 'protesters' are having trouble with the police. Guess what, Einstein? When your peaceful protest turns violent and you trespass, litter, commit assault & indecent exposure and try to block traffic (innocent people who still WORK for a living) and defecate on a police car......then you deserve a butt-whooping for dinner and pepper spray for dessert. The First Amendment does guarantee freedom of speech, but sure as heck doesn't mean you have a right to be heard or the privilege of breaking other people's stuff.
Keep it civil & peaceful or suffer the consequences!!
