    they may be part of the "1%", but I don't know that I'd call the owners "minorities." Maybe Jordan.

    Can't these assholes make their point (whatever it is) without continually disrupting the lives of those paying for their lazy asses?

    There is something inherently sad about these protests. They don't resemble protests from the 60s, 70s, or even 80s when people were frustrated by meaningless repetitive work. No, this is far worse. This is a return to the pre-Industrial Revolution days when the masses protested for the right to work, any work, no matter how menial. We now live in a society that has a giant chasm between the haves and have-nots, something that was perhaps temporarily bridged during the 1950s to 1980s. Some of you may scoff and label them lazy, but I have a feeling few (if any) of you realize how unemployable you'll be if you lose your jobs in this economy.

    In 2009, I lost my Fortune 500 corporate job in Atlanta after 20 years of being with the company. From there, I took a commission sales (something I had absolutely no familiarity/experience with) job with a windows and doors company here in the Portland area.

    The longer I'm with the company, the more I'm enjoying it. I still have a long ways to go, but I think it will support me through the rest of my working years.

    Actually, no. However, we're a dealer for many various locally-manufactured brands such as Milgard, Cascade, and Coeur D'Alene. We even have our own exclusive, region-specific brand (Solar View) which just hit the marketplace..

    You know, they'd instantly have more credibility if they left the bongos at home.

    I'm not funny, I'm clever. There's a difference.

    mocking the diversity of Portland's occupy crowd seems an empty commentary coming from someone who has consistently trumpeted the tea party gatherings. Pretty obvious why all the right wing folks here have their panties in a bunch and are sniping at this massive grassroots movement. When do the cops take the gloves off and start beating stinky hippy ass right?
