JM-
This is my personal opinion, not 'right wing propaganda'.
I've found the 'demands' from the various protesters to be as widely varying as the number of protesters. I'll stand by my opinion.
Do I agree with some of their goals? Sure.
Do I think there are well meaning people spending a chunk of their time to make a statement ? Sure.
Do I celebrate the freedoms that these people are exercising ? Hell YES.
I find the diatribes about the protesters being 'rich brats' particularly silly. Of course they are. So were the protesters who occupied Tariq Square in Egypt. The peasants were too poor to take off a couple of weeks to go live in the square. It's only the more well off that has the funds to put their lives on hold and survive. Such is the fuel of change.
Heck... it took a bunch of wealthy, educated, slave-owning businessmen to start this country of ours.
