It's interesting that Occupy Rockford, IL is planning to "mic check" at Cherryvale Mall today. They're protesting against 'Black Friday'; a day when people have a chance to save a bunch of money. When did saving money during a time when many people need to save money in this downed economy become a bad idea? I looked at their support page as well as their "Black Friday" event page and find no justifiable reasoning for this. Sure, many of the products being sold are made overseas but all the people selling them are from this area. Isn't it good that this yearly shopping event requires bodies to work in the stores, big box or otherwise? I still say some of these protests are for attention and the same can be said about this post. Maybe I just don't understand the 'movement'. Well I have an idea but I would have an better understanding if there didn't appear between be a billion different reasons. I do know the what protesting is, and in case people challenge it - I'll show you.

It doesn't use many plurals when it mentions "objection", "avowal", "affirmation", "gesture", etc. You get my point. In case you don't, I have yet to see one basic reason for this movement. Instead it seems that "Occupy" is just a bunch of ideas which confuses many people, not just me. A headline, that's all I'm asking for! I would also like to know how these people have so much free time on their hands? Are they jobless??? If so, I have sympathy for them. If they are, shouldn't they be job hunting? Fast food joints are always hiring. Oh wait, that's corporate America. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! Anti-capitalism.

If you're going to protest, for whatever the reason, please do it within the lines of the law. Do it safely. Do it for the right reason. A make it easier to understand.
