OWS in class.

Discussing the OWS in class didn't change my opinion at all. If anything it just made me feel even more strongly about my opinions. The people at OWS, for the most part, weren't lazy people that didn't want to work. As I said in class, just telling the people to vote doesn't fix much because that's taking away from the fact that when the elections took place before we could vote. That's also taking away from the fact that most of the underpaid and overworked people aren't American citizens, meaning they can't vote. We talked about whether the end of Taibbi's article was enough. I still think it was. The way that I naturally think about things is by knowing what I don't want and working from that. That's what the protestors were doing as well. The protestors weren't okay with what the government was doing so they made it known. They might not have had an answer, but who really does? The country isn't agreeing on what to do so maybe just showing your frustration is enough to show that people are tired of what's happening. I don't think anything is going to change soon, but I hope something is done to make it better.
