The Game Is Rigged: Isn't "lack of detail" something Occupy critics like to throw around a lot?
Thank you! Perfectly on point with my previous post. Nice analogy.
You don’t take your car in because it’s making a funny noise, and hand the mechanic an orderly list of bolts to remove and belts to tighten and computer variables to check. The man who wants to be in a position to enact the reforms required should come to the table with a list of credible actions based on responsible research, and not expect it to be handed over by the constituents.
This is important to keep in mind when people ask why Occupy itself doesn’t have a detailed how-to for fixing all the problems. That’s not their job, and they are angry because the people who have that job are dropping the ball.

Big Warning: The video linked above can be a bit disturbing
eugeniedefranval submitted: Peaceful female protesters pepper sprayed for asking police officers why.
Protest organizers estimated that about 85 people had been arrested and that about five were struck with pepper spray. Among those was Chelsea Elliott, 25, who said that she was sprayed after shouting “Why are you doing that?” as an officer arrested a protester at East 12th Street.
“I was on the ground sobbing and couldn’t breathe,” she said. The ongoing protests, against a financial system that participants say favors the rich and powerful over ordinary citizens, started last Saturday, and were coordinated by a New York group called the General Assembly.http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/24/80-arrested-as-financial-district-protest-moves-north/

Wow, that is some terrifying stuff. Someone is going to have to explain for what has gone down out there. Today we’re all left with the same question when faced with this disgusting perversion of justice “Why?”
