She needs to get a grip & the protesters that are getting free food and drink need to get real. This protest is heavily financed by the labor unions & left wing socialists. They are talking on their cell phones, writing on their IPads living the good life and expecting others to finance their lazy habits.

“While everybody is getting laid ... , bank fees are going up, no one seemed to get organized and say something ... meaningful,” she reflects.

There's no great mystery to what the protests are all about - the system works to the advantage of just a small number of people, and the rest of us are disadvantaged by it. This didn't happen overnight, but it's gotten so bad that young people have nothing to look forward to.
It's great to see the movement call for change in America's absurdly restrictive immigration policies, which serve mainly to keep undocumented workers from organizing into labor unions.
This should have happened years ago; thank God it's happening now.

Once again, Irish-American prove just how stupid they are. The "Occupy Wal;l Street" movement is looking for income redistribution, collectivizing industry...all directly from "Das Kapital" by Karl Marx. Morons.

And when it gets cold and they leave what will they have accomplished ? Other than demonstrated they are unhappy. A specific goal and a plan to get it done is what is needed. Focus on a couple of polticians and put all your efforts into defeating them or get bills introduced to implement change. But standing around complaining that others are rich and you are not won't work. There is strength in numbers but not without a goal.
