When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world...

His parents should've paid the mortgage instead of his college tuition. And he should've prepared a better diatribe, not gonna convince a jury with that type of rambling.

Earlier this week, a small group of pensioners in Chinaâs central Henan province even rallied in support of the U.S. protesters, though nostalgia for Mao Zedongâs bygone era appeared to be a main driver.
âResolutely supporting the American peopleâs mighty âWall Street revolution,ââ read an unfurled banner during the demonstration Thursday at a park in the provincial capital of Zhengzhou, according to video footage posted online as well as the leftist website Utopia. The website said several hundred people took part.
Some of the old men fumbled with their red arm bands, which called for world-wide solidarity. Many simplly stood quietly, hands clasped behind their backs.
âUnited, proletarians around the world,â was one of the slogans the pensioners chanted.

Any video of when they got the crap beaten out of them by Chinese police?? :eek:
Do you actually try to be narrow-minded or is it a genetic defect?
The whole jobs situation is only one of the issues being brought up and it's not even the main one. I'm more interested in the fact that it is about time some protesting is done for the continuous bailouts for the banks and top corporates at the expense of the masses. Additionally, there is pretty clear dissent about big business controlling politics and hence government finances.
