Interesting theory -- but he needs to give his condescending head a shake. The protesters aren't campaigning against work or jobs -- they are protesting against a perceived inequity on the distribution of wealth in our society.

Actually this 3 1/2 day deal sounds like something I would enjoy doing, it would however need to be a little longer than 3 1/2 days. I am not one of the protesters but where do I sign up?

H.E.H

I'd pay to watch that guy try and survive his own challenge!! LOL

Sounds fair to me. If you can't make that - the tribe REALLY doesn't need you...

The key word being "perceived". I think his theory of how we got to where we are and the sense of entitlement that seems to exist (especially amongst Canadian youth) is accurate. Wealth is earned not "distributed". Most of these protesters fail to see that and they are trying to rip apart the system that allows them the education/medical care/welfare that gives them the tools to have any life that they choose and the freedom to exercise it.

Capitalism is certainly not a perfect system , but it has been proved time and again throughout the world that it is way to go. Our government has dropped the ball on protecting taxpayers/shareholders from abusive behaviour by corporations and that IMO is the real problem.

What a douche. Corporations don't hire the local farmers to grow the food, they undercut them and put them out of business. I think what some of the protesters are fighting for is valid. The rich get richer and hard working family that opened that local produce store struggle to get by since Walmart, Safeway, etc can sell there imported produce for cheaper.

Can I be first in line to kick this guy in the nuts? i won't miss.

x 2 Greenhornet and Dave S. This guy has a few valid points about entitlement issues with some younger people, but his biased support of big corporations is more reactionary, republican, protect the ultra wealthy, bullshyte IMO.
