"Most people at OWS sites are older and have become disenfranchised by Corporations that use and abuse them, politicians that are employed by the corporations thus being protected during elections, Millionaires and Billionaires that invest in those corps and thus affect the legislation that those corps buy and pay for."

That statement does not appear to be true as the 2 surveys taken pertaining to OWS indicate that 50to 60% of the participants are less than 30 years old. Today's 21 year old slacker stands a pretty good chance of becoming the next decades OWS camper.

I stand by the example of my nephew as a growing condition that we face in this country and I have no reason to believe that a HR person from Boeing would fabricate a story like that one just for the fun of it. I realize that there has been and always will be "slackers" but there is also a growing sense of entitlement in this country that is alarming.

During the height of the real estate boom a few years ago I used to get 2-3 phone calls a week from various people who would express interest in becoming a real estate appraiser. They would want to know what the process for becoming one was and when I would explain to them that they would have to take some classes and do 3 years of appraisal work (2500 hrs of appraisal) under the guidance of a certified appraiser (at a 50/50 fee split) and then take and pass the state exam. Just about every one suddenly had a change of heart. A lot of people today just don't want to start out on the bottom and put in the time that it takes to succeed and they don't have the work ethic that is required either.
