In this nation of sheep a strange thing has occurred. People have been speaking out in protest without the benefit of leaders. Pundits have been having trouble creating a united front against this phenomenon. How can they criticize that which is not organized and highly focused? The news media is under-reporting on the protests it appears, largely because they don’t know how to collectively interview so many participants, especially when they insist on expressing their own, unscripted opinions.
Political parties have leaders. Unions have leaders. Religious groups have leaders. Corporations have leaders. However, the Occupy Wall Street group and other Occupy protest groups just have participants. What do you do with that, especially when it starts to grow and show up in numerous places around the country and the world? People participating in this protest appear to be thinking for themselves and voicing their own opinions, unheard of.
I like it.
