I'm sorry, but not everybody who has a problem with the government is a hippie, and if you think that they're the only ones protesting, you're being lied to and you're buying it. You just sound like you have prejudices against the poor, have them all lumped into one category, and refer to them with a demeaning euphemism to make yourself feel better about your bigotry.

You missed my very last sentences in parentheses. No I don't think they're all hippies, and yes I do agree with their message (the smart ones, not the hippies).
This movement needs to get off it's ass and get organized to have any effect. The Tea Party was very successful at it, and now it's time for this Occupy movement to do the same. They are not opposed to each other btw, despite what some less-informed individuals in the media might want you to believe.
If they don't organize and put some real pressure on their representatives, they will fizzle out and be remembered as a bunch of hippies who were whining that didn't have enough money. There are two major differences between the Tea Party and this movement, and they are
organization and
who participates. If they can organize, man we have a real force at work in government with them and the Tea Party. I'd love to see it.
