Occupy Again
It looks like the Occupy Movement is making headlines again in Fort Wayne, but not for any legitimate news of its own. It seems a reporter with the News Sentinel is still trying to make a federal case out of the fact that the Occupiers get to camp out stay rent-free in a city park, while he can't park downtown without feeding the meter. Maybe he has a point. But even if you agree with him, you would have to say the media seems to be missing the forest for the trees on this one.

This begs that same question that we discussed a few weeks ago. What is desirable for public discourse? Is civil disobedience OK? When does civil disobedience go too far?
ReplyDeleteTough questions!

He does have a point though. Maybe he is missing the idea of the occupy movement itself but i think quite a few people have no idea what the movement is about. Even people involved dont know what the movement is about.
ReplyDeleteI think it’s interesting how the occupiers make more headlines than their actual cause… It seems that everything is based on visual representation and not on content.
