Oh, bout the title.

If he the Wall Street Squatters are against government corruption, then
why are they on Wall Street and not in Washington DC?

Because Wall Street is just as corrupt. They are the one's giving the
stocks to the pols.

You have that backwards. If DC was not so corrupt it would be illegal
to bribe them with stocks and the things Wall Street are doing would
be better regulated.
I agree with Nook, why aren't these guys occupying the park in front
of the Capitol?

Oh maybe it is because the Park Police and the Capitol Police would
get medieval on their ass.

'Cause this freedom of speech stuff just goes so far. Glad to see Bloomberg finally woke up.

Heard someone say on the news this morniong that freedom of speech
does not give you the right to take over a public area with tents and
sleeping bags. Amen to that!

We attended an event at our state house two weekends ago. It's
National Hospice month, and this event included a service on Friday
night, then more activities all day Saturday. Part of the event was
the placement of hundreds of umbrellas on the lawn, each lit with a
battery powered candle, to commemorate the people that had died while
in hospice care over the last year.

Where were the Occupy people? There were about 20 of them, and they
were over to the left of the front of the capital. Fortunately they
were downwind, because if you walked over in that direction, the smell
hit you in the face! They were going to the bathroom in buckets and
dumping the buckets in the shrubs all around them! During the
service, one of them walked in between the audience and the podium/
stage, picking their nose, and just looking around. Idiot.

Oh, and we had to pick up all the umbrellas and candles for the night,
and then put it all back out again the next morning. The police
wouldn't allow us to leave it out, even if someone stayed with it all
night. The nasty, stinking Occupy people got to stay. Pretty screwed
up.
