Wall Street protesters are all clueless..So I thought
2011-10-21 05:40:00 Unless you’ve been living under a rock (Geico commercial plug), you must by now be aware of the Occupy Wall Street movement.The movement is mainly one of protesting the social and economic inequality brought about by corporate greed and government influence, particularly in respect of the heavyweights in the financial services sector.As we’ve seen, the Occupy Wall Street protest has given rise to similar “OccupyCityX” movements across the world, including our very own Toronto.Notwithstanding some of the examples of unlawful conduct, there has been much criticism over these protests which focus on the participants themselves and the lack of clarity in their focus and demands.It’s wrong and dangerous however, to paint all the protesters with the same broad stroke of criticism.Like the wise Donald Cherry once said, “when you’re wrong, you’ve got to admit it”…

On Sunday, I understand that there was another rally -- I was resting from a busy week -- and that even Berkeley Councilmember Donna Sprng got involved. Now, UC Spokesperson Dan Mogulof seems to imply that the University doesn't want to talk to anyone. Dan Mogulof, just do it. Let's stop this silly game, find something clever and political to say to get them to go home. Why not offer the protesters a chance to be part of the action of planning? It's called a Citizen's Review Commitee. Look, I know Cal can do better. The way Cal's behaving is not what I learned at the Department of City and Regional Planning, where I got my Master's Degree...at Cal. Cal needs to grow up.
