“‘I want to own my own catering company. I want to start my own cafe. I want to start my own non-profit…What’s stopping me? My own lack of unmotivation.’ – actual quote from real Occupier”

A lack of the ability to construct a coherent sentence in English seems to be in residence as well. (Extra credit for anyone who can spot the word which negates his entire whine.)

“Do Occupiers want to pay for their neighbor’s mortgage? Clearly not. Otherwise, they wouldn’t object to the bailouts. So what’s the divide? How does one start from the same basic objection and reach the polar opposite prescription?”

Simply that, while they certainly do not want to “pay their neighbor’s mortgage”, they expect everybody else to pay THEIRS.

This is a “revolt” of the sons and daughters of the privileged elite; who else goes to a high-end college for a degree in something like Critical Dance Theory, or backpacks around Europe for half their peak earning years for the “experience”?

By comparison, Douglas Adams did it for one summer, wrote a radio show, TV show, and series of books about it, and got filthy stinking rich as a result. THEN, he went around the world looking at the pretty places- and wrote a book about that, too. (Look up “The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” and its sequels, plus “Last Chance to See”.) And please note, he did most of it while living under the UK’s confiscatory tax structure, to boot.

We are being screamed at by people who expect the rest of us to pay them to do things we generally define as a “bad investment”. (Not to mention “mildly to extremely silly”.) In the case of the arty types, I’d suggest contacting the John & Catherine MacArthur Foundation, as they actually have programs to fund this sort of thing.

As for the rest… clean up the park before you leave, please.
