Dude, just rolling….<\/a><\/p>\n

Mr. Alandt, 53, an out-of-work stagehand and one of hundreds participating in Phoenix\u2019s version of Occupy Wall Street, is furious that people are dying in foreign wars. He is angry that medical marijuana was still considered illegal despite Arizona voters\u2019 approval of it. He is livid about his lot in life.<\/p>\n

\u201cBro, I have been lied to so many times that I don\u2019t know who to believe,\u201d Mr. Alandt said. \u201cAll the world\u2019s problems run downhill, and I\u2019m at the bottom.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What is this world coming to when a stagehand can’t find a $75k a year job? This is bullshit. The poor man can’t even get high….<\/p>\n

\u201cPeace activists, indigenous rights activists, immigrant activists \u2014 they\u2019re all here,\u201d said Liz Hourican, 40, who belongs to the antiwar group Code Pink and was scrawling a message in pink chalk on a sidewalk in downtown Phoenix, calling on American troops to come home. \u201cIt may sound different to you, but it\u2019s all the same. We\u2019re all stepping up and saying something\u2019s wrong.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also, rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists.<\/p>\n

Kay Merryweather, 34, an artist on the Lower East Side, volunteers at Trinity Church, giving out food. She said that during the financial crisis, when banks were receiving bailouts and financial executives were receiving multimillion-dollar bonuses, the church often ran out before the long lines of working poor were fed. \u201cThe bankers were getting all of these millions,\u201d Ms. Merryweather said. \u201cAnd we didn\u2019t have enough food.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This entire thing makes me reconsider whether an artist is a good occupational choice. Glad I became a soldier, lobbyist and writer instead of going into penis puppetry. There but for the grace of God go I…<\/p>\n

But not far away, Benny Zable, 66, a longtime activist, was protesting while wearing a gas mask and a suit that read \u201cWork Consume Be Silent Die.\u201d He said his outrage came from the heedlessness of economic growth. \u201cIt\u2019s the greed factor,\u201d Mr. Zable said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t think “Activist” as as lucrative as you’ve been led to believe by your guidance counselor.<\/p>\n

In Boston, a hub of colleges and universities, a higher education theme emerged among protesters. \u201cWhat did I spend the last four years doing?\u201d asked Becky De Freitas, a recent graduate of Gordon College in Wenham, Mass. \u201cFluent in Mandarin and French and no one wants to go for that? And it\u2019s like, now what?\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dude, I don’t know why you haven’t thought of this, but maybe you should go back and get a graduate degree in Sanksrit.<\/p>\n

Jean Marie Simpson, an actor and peace activist, objected when her fellow demonstrators at Occupy Tucson surrounded a man who had assailed the movement, shouting at him and thrusting signs in his face. \u201cI left disappointed and disillusioned,\u201d she said of her fellow occupiers. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But you are an actor, can’t you at least fake it for the Childrens sake?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
