When I think of all the good that was done by people who sacrificed their own lives and comfort — and when I think of people in oppressive regimes who died for their beliefs — I find it rather cheap and crass to lump OWS squatters with them.
As Time wearily explains EVERY YEAR, they don’t pick their “hero’s” [sic] but the person they think was most influential, whether for good or evil.. No doubt Hitler was influential!
It remains to be seen how “influential” they will have been.They haven’t more than annoy their target, the corporate elite.Best case scenario: a significant portion of voters abandon the corporate bought parties & a multi party Congress is Constitutionally required to chose between the top 3 electoral vote winners, because there is no majority opinion in America.
