Socialism In France -- People Flee. What?

[Bean Bag]

I mean both movements have great ideas at the beginning, (tea party- fiscal responsibility) (OWS- pointing out some glaring crimes the the Madoff types pulled on wall street) but as the movement swells, the message is lost.

I hear you.  I have some observations on this... such as, how and why.  But answers they are not.  Answers, or success, involves the critical mass component...

As other wise men on this forum have alluded to -- the dark side is after the same thing...

Frankly, I find that organized protesting of any kind (at least in this day and age) is probably about as unproductive and useless as you can get.  It doesn't seem like anything gets accomplished except maybe blocking street traffic for folks who are actually trying to live their lives.  Doesn't matter if I agree with the protest (Tea Party) or disagree (Occupy Freeloaders) with it; at the end of the day you look like an a-hole either way.  F_ck protesters.
