2. Another Comparison
Our Journalists are relating to OWS in the same manner as front engine dragsters at the 1970 Winternationals in Pomona when they saw Garlits drive this through the gates. Having cut off half a foot and sawing his front engine car in half six months prior at Lions, Garlits entered his first race of the new season and took Top Fuel!.

SR-14's first runs in public took place a week or two before at Lions in Long Beach, When Don Prudhomme first saw the new rear engine car, he laughed out loud.

3. The Corporate Media does not like it that they don't control the message.
So they ridicule it, when that doesn't work they hint at danger, when that doesn't work they say it is just a bunch of kids and hippies, when that doesn't work they call on their pundit army to dismiss the event in hopes their braindead followers do the same.

The M$M wants and needs OWS to go away, it is bad for business (which is ALL they care about).

4. K&R for a great analogy.
They're impressed with their own size but they look ridiculous waving their tiny arms around, not comprehending what's going on.
