Is the system broken? I don't believe it is. The apathetic public is broken. The system is whatever the people make it or allow it to become. A collection of dirty, disgruntled retards standing around in drum circles protesting squirrels isn't going to change that.

I agree, and disagree. The system is broken, but you're right, it's the apathetic public that is responsible. Which is why I don't understand why you don't support, or hell even like that the OWS movement is out there calling attention to the system we let grow out of control. Even if they were a bunch of "dirty retards in a drum circle", which is clearly not the case, they are bringing attention to the corruption inside our government and they are shining a massive spotlight upon it, more so than I can remember any other movement doing.
