    Awesome! Though college profs have little influence. The next step should be the Board Room.

    The really observant professor will remind his students of the postmodern irony of students going into debt with student loans to learn more about a protest about unemployed student graduates crushed under the debt of their student loans.

    A bit unfair to talk about Occupy protests leaving behind refuse (in the linked article). In general the occupy crowd kept things pretty tidy but when you are getting evicted by police you really don't have much time to tidy up all of your property that the police have smashed up so you usually end up leaving it there - at least until you get out of jail.

    The Tea Party types did, at least, manage to get their garbage in or pretty close to the public bins.

    Wear HAZMAT Suits to Clean Up 25 Tons of Filth at #Occupy LA

    Portland Needs 70 DUMP TRUCKS to Clean Up Filth After Occupy Removed From Parks

    http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...lth-after-occupy-squatters-removed-from-park/

    A New York City health expert says besides the smell of urine and the defecating on porches, the Occupy Wall Street dump is a breeding ground for rats.

    As in "their employer forced them to wear hazmat suits".

    Thanks for the photos. It clearly shows that the trash is what the protesters would have formally referred to as property but which was smashed by the cops when the protesters were evicted without the ability to bring with them the property that they were forced to abandon.

    Doubtless if I smashed all of your property it would produce a lot of garbage.

    Did a Tea Partier actually toss the flag in the garbage?

    So the liberal media cameraman threw a flag in the trash before taking the picture.

    Next.

    For extra credit, perhaps they should hold on campus protest of the extremely high tuition rates. Fat cats are bleeding them dry and forcing them into debt slavery!

    They should be doing that anyway. The fees are ridiculous - but then again, the fees are that way partly to keep the riff-raff out and make sure that only the proper classes get to attend classes.
