3. I Like This Better


I think Occupy has a lot in common with the Tea Party and ought to be trying to work together. Of course, it does bring to mind a quote by Malcolm X:

If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing
