The Nation's Dave Zirin stirs the pot by describing the Super Bowl itself as yet another object of scorn for the class warriors in order to justify such demonstrations.
"The Super Bowl is perennially the Woodstock for the 1 percent: a Romneyesque cavalcade of private planes, private parties and private security," he writes. "Combine that with this proposed legislation, and the people of Indiana will not let this orgy of excess go unoccupied."

If the owns loosers would have got a degree in something other than liberal arts the might be working instead of tearing things up
Ease off the liberal arts please. My husband has a liberal arts degree and I will be getting one too. Neither one of us is in league with the parasitical element who want to attach themselves to and suck their livelihood from the productive segment of society.

Out of curiosity, who do lawyers (or their wives) view as parasitic?
I'm going to guess.
Its the delusional parasites such as the occupiers. Those who refuse to work, who refuse to apply themselves.
Those who feel its right to force the workers of America to pay them for not working.
You know, others like yourself.
I read an interesting book last year "L'insurrection qui vient" -- The Coming Insurrection -- written by the "invisible committee." This was a French book, which is an anarchist screed. Not very persuasive, but popular I believe among the anarchist crowd. The Occupy folks, to the extent they have any coherent thoughts, can fairly be categorized as anarchists.
One of the startling statements in "The Coming Insurrection" was "Work is no longer put up with as a given of the human condition." It really takes a few minutes for that statement to sink in. Now, if I heard this from my teenage kids with reference to chores around the house -- "household chores are no longer put up with by teenagers as a given of their home situations!" -- I would be unhappy, flumoxed, but not entirely surpised. I would have some good ideas about how to complete their education. I am shocked to hear this uttered by what are without a doubt well educated adults, my conjecture is very well educated adults who were educated by the French national education system to probably a masters degree level, judging by the quality of writing and blithe familiarity with literature and philosophy (conjecture, because the authors hid behind the 'invisible committee' authorship to escape legal prosecution, as they do explicitly advocate illegal acts in this book).
So, I have no difficulty seeing those who hold "work is no longer put up with as a given of the human condition" as the parasites. And I have some useful ideas about how to complete their education on this subject. Basically it involves not giving any money to them in the form of welfare or unemployment. Granted, this is not an explicit platform of the Occupy movement, but who will say this position is inconsistent with their . . . principles, beliefs, modes of behavior?
College is not necessarily a trade school, it is a place where your mind gets exercised and allows you to be a much better thinker in whatever you choose to do with your future.

No, its now become indoctrination place. A place where group think is the norm, dissenting opinions discouraged. If you don't tow the liberal line then you're not welcomed.
