Aside from facepainting and pillow fights for revolution, the most amusing aspect of the Occupy Wall Street protest is the offer of friendly suggestions by pundits who disagree with everything they stand for. (Man: It's easier to see the truth when you're employed well paid, and sitting on your ass in a cushioned chair.) The New York Times Nicholas Kristof says he doesn't "share the antimarket sentiment" of the movement. So why weigh in? (Man: It's an intellectual exercise. And it fills my deadline.) Specifically, Kristof thinks that the Occupiers should issue a demand for "moving ahead with Basel III capital requirements and adopting the Volcker Rule to limit banks." ability to engage in risky and speculative investments. Let the wild rumpus begin! (What do we want? Moving ahead with Basel III capital requirements and adopting the volker rule! When do we want it? Whenever a blue ribbon committee deems it practicable!) Caution: The revolution will be anesthesized. (Barack Obama: What are they demanding? Is anyone writing this down?)

Why don’t you find the list of demands the group has come out with? It not them not saying, but that you are NOT LIStening!!
I found and made a copy of their declaration.None are as blind as those who choose not to see.They are doing this for, for themselves, and for you and each and everyone who ever got their houses taken, their jobs sent overseas, and for my behalf, and your behalf!!Lavocat over 12 years ago
I guess the revolution arrived a tad earlier than expected. It’s just a matter of time before things get “interesting”.
