10 Craziest things said about OWS LINK
(right-wing think-tank American Enterprise
Institute toured OWS first hand, and observed of OWStreeters, "These
people are conservatives, they just don't know it" Perhaps it is the
AEI's preconception of "liberals" that was askew, before? Corporations
have spent billions to keep the Conservatives vs. Liberals divide as
wide as possible, because when the people are divided, their oppressors
flourish. 99 % of us have more in common with each other than we have
with the 1%. Hopefully, the real moral of the AEI's positive experience
touring OWS is that WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER, we have more in common
than we know, and the 1% is screwing us all.)
