I don't know why you're feigning such ignorance, such as when ekg and I referred to OWC as America's "Arab Spring". You've always been intelligent enough to reason with a measured response, when it suits your needs of course.
Well you two are not the only ones who've called OWS as America's Arab Spring, but the Arab Spring was a response to oppressive regimes. Our current "regime" is exactly the one that you, ekg, and probably most of the OWS protesters, voted for.
So the government is neither a tyranny nor even your political opposition. Instead, it's exactly what you've voted for. So trying to identify it as a tyranny just like the Arab governments that were replaced seems ridiculous to me. Protesting against student loans, a poor job economy, and Wall Street corruption hardly seem to rise to that level.
