I'm only armed and dangerous when little twerps with ponytails try to
break in...

That sounds like the people I see on CNN from the OWS crowd.

You're wrong. First, most of them are educated.

There are plenty of educated people with pony tails, including the
professors who taught them.

But not the little freak to which Harry refers.

Second, there's a lot of people who've been left out of this economy
that used to have a place. Not poor folk, but lower middle, middle
and even upper middle class who can no longer earn a living.

Times are tough for a lot of people but I do not see any solutions
coming from these protestors, nor from the government.
They should be protesting in front of the companies that offshored all
the jobs if they are mad about being out of work.
Maybe they should be protesting all the consumers who choose a cheap
price over a "made in USA" label.
Of course they could go protest the university that sent them out into
the world with a useless degree and a $100,000 student loan bill.

They're not there to provide answers but to call attention to the
pain. Those who fail to answer the call will be left to defend
themselves when push comes to shove.
