    Occupy returns today!

    The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum--Noam Chomsky

    The workers in this country work on Tuesdays.

    The lazy and unemployed aren't the kind of people you can depend on to keep showing up.

    Today will be an epic fail for occupy.

    The funniest thing about comments like this is the irony that it's made on a message board, a notorious time waster.

    Does you boss know you post here a lot?

    Your clients?

    Your wife?

    Even if they do, are you working?

    I love the hypocrisy of the right. So much fodder to toss about.

    And the ignorance of the left will never cease to amaze!

    Maybe he is retired, maybe its vacation, maybe its lunch.. but to question it as though you may have a foothold for criticism is laughable.

    My point is that wasting time is wasting time. You could argue that the OWS people are making a heckuva lot bigger impact "wasting time" protesting than we do on this lil ole message board.

    Also, this whole "they're all unemployed bums" criticism is bogus, unless you want to accept the "all tea partiers are fat dummies who can't spell" stereotype.

    I didn't think so.

    I don't consider this place a time waster. When you work as much as I do, this place serves as a great outlet to engage in discussions I don't have the time to engage in otherwise.

    I don't have time to waste an entire work day complaining about having to work.

    End of the day, my point remains that OWS will fail because the people they rely on are inherently unreliable, lazy and lack the drive to see things through.

    The epic fail of today simply proves my point.

    You have absolutely nothing to back up such a generalized opinion about a group of people

    Great, though, we can at least agree that all tea partiers are fat, stupid rednecks who can't spell and marry their siblings.

    Glad that's agreed on.

    I am basing it on the epic fail of their self reported day to show us their strength.

    Envelopes containing suspicious powder were sent through the mail to at least seven locations in Manhattan, primarily Wells Fargo banks, police officials said.

    "This is a reminder that you are not in control," said a message that arrived with the envelopes. "Just in case you needed some incentive to stop working we have a little surprise for you. Think fast you have seconds."

    Several samples tested negative -- evidently containing corn starch, police said. Later, all the powder samples were determined to be non-toxic, The Associated Press reported.

    The receipt of the white powder prompted evacuations at bank branches, police told the AP, but caused no injuries.

    Do you refute the story or the source?

    that they at first suspected it was tied to OWS...no not at all, but then I think they started using common sense to realize what a great opportunity it would be for someone to pull this and blame it on OWS...

    Yes. in fact, it refutes itself.

    Police initially suggested the suspicious envelopes could have been mailed by militants from within the Occupy Wall Street movement, but a spokesman for Occupy Wall Street denied any connection to the mailings, saying the NYPD was making a false assumption. Police had no suspects in the mailings, the AP reported. "

    That hardly rules out anything.

    The police believed San Francisco-based Wells Fargo might have been targeted for white powder mailings because about half of a key dozen Occupy Wall Street members have backgrounds in Oakland, San Francisco and Berkeley, and similar incidents occurred in California earlier this week, police sources said.

    And oh how us liberals long for the May Day Parades from years gone by with overweight old men wearing fur caps reviewing soldiers and weapons.
