Abby has spent some time with the Occupy people.

I think the whole thing is fabulous. People say, “What do these kids want? It’s all over the board!” I say, “Hooray for the spirit of the young." They are passionate, caring, sincere, and very well organized. They are the hope for our democracy.

They want a more just and fair society. They know the income divide has grown enormously, and that the greed of the already-wealthy Wall Street crowd was a cause of our current deep financial woes. And yes, they support a broad array of causes from education parity to global warming, and that is because there is a broad array of problems! The sum is that they want a better life for the majority of the people. There’s a good cause if I ever heard one.

Not specific enough? Well, if the solution to these problems was easy to define and implement, maybe it would have been done already. What do the scoffers want? Do they want our American youth to be sitting passively in front of the TV laughing at nonsense? If I had to choose between a 20-something Occupier and a 20-something TV watcher as the future of the country, there would be no contest. Viva the Occupiers!

Who will join Abby on the (arm-chair) barricades?!
