"What These Protesters Need ... Is To Grow Up"
Bill Whittle of PJTV says it FAR better than I could, and manages to do so without resorting to any of the profanity or prejudice that the OWS crowd spews.
They were the generation of kids who weren'tn allowed to fail. Awards were giving just for playing, not for trying hard and winning. Parents bought them every toy, computers, games, cars. They expected to go to college and move into a house as nice as Mommy and Daddy's with all the toys without every struggling. For they never had struggle.
My friends, in their 40's and 50's just laugh at them. One of my friends didin't own a CAR until she was 27. We all had roomates and huge student loans until we were in our 30's (I STILL have one for my doctorate, though it's paying for itself with the job I got with it eventually). It's called PAYING YOUR DUES. No instant satisfaction, not awards for "playing". Welcome to adulthood. Those of us "rich" people you lambast, paid for every little thing we have in sweat and tears over 30 years.
