Does Bruce Wayne count?

And then we have the comic icon, Frank Miller:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog...?newsfeed=trueHe writes: "Occupy" is nothing short of a clumsy, poorly-expressed attempt at anarchy, to the extent that the "movement" – HAH! Some "movement", except if the word "bowel" is attached - is anything more than an ugly fashion statement by a bunch of iPhone, iPad wielding spoiled brats who should stop getting in the way of working people and find jobs for themselves" it reads.

Attachment 92307I almost agree with him. I think it was on Forbes where they had a diagram of a Wall Street rally. Basically they were showing off the protesters accessories that were produced by corporate businesses.
It's like "The Greens" party here in Australia, they're bitching about "dirty" fuel entering the atmosphere but rock up in a black Ford's to meetings.
edit: Guess it wasn't:

The fact that these protesters are rallying against corporate greed and domination does not necessarily make them hypocrites (although some undoubtedly are) simply because corporations touch every aspect of their lives. It is in fact due to these corporations having their hands in EVERYTHING that drives them (some, anyway) to protest.
Allowing the banking industry (Wall Street) to get away with hundreds of billions of dollars without so much as public outrage would be a FAR greater crime than wanna-be hippies standing around while consuming corporate-created products. Frank Miller calling these people "anarchists" of sorts is missing the point. Entirely. Protest without violence is quite democratic. Perhaps the next time Wall Street walks away with billions of public money, the protestors won't be so quiet...
I agree that the banking industry in Wall Street needs a good kick in the bullocks, but that doesn't mean that it's acceptable for protesters start looking beyond the picture and target all large corporations as 'evil'.
I think I understand now why people disliked the Jews back in the 30's.
