I'd like to take a moment to write about the current Occupy movement that has spread across the world. I am so proud of the people that are coming out to show that we won't stand up for the greed that only benefits a few. Years ago, I had no faith in America. I didn't know why everyone just sat and watched everything fall apart. I always said that the reason why we are letting this happen to us is because we are lazy. They have made us content with being fat and lazy. They have made us content with being in our "bubble". The whole world around us was falling apart and the majority of us didn't lift a finger. Only when our friends and family lost their job, we saw the personal toll that greed can take on a society.
While I believe that the Occupy movement still has to shape into a unified message, I am happy that someone is doing something. I appreciate the thousands of people camping outside while I lay in my bed. I appreciate them forgoing their busy lives to protest. I cannot leave my job to protest. So, I can only use my words to show support.
