I am the 1.42857143x10^-10%

I am the 1.42857143x10^-10%
I am only one person out of just over seven billion people on this planet. I am one man, I have one voice, this is my opinion coming out of my lips as a result of my thoughts. I do not claim that these words going through your eyes into your head are anyone else's but my own.

I would write this down on one of those fandangled pieces of paper and hold it up in-front of a camera, but that is more effort than I have been known to give.
I've been seeing lot's of pictures of people holding up those pieces of paper. Some explain their life story and state that they belong to the 99%. Knowing percentages, this is highly probable that they belong to a 99% rather than a 1%.
There are others that write their life story and state how the others are simply not trying hard enough, because there are bountiful opportunities out there to get what you desire.
This is a mockery of the gesture that is being shown, and shows ignorance of what the people who claim they are the 99% are actually protesting about.

From what I have read, what I have seen, and what I have interpreted, the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the point they are protesting is not the lack of jobs, though that is a symptom of what they are complaining about, it's the disproportionate wealth between the '1%' as they are called, the extremely wealthy, and the '99%' as the movement calls themselves, the 'average citizen'. Rich people are rich yes, they do things that make them rich and they deserve being rich. Rich people being rich is proportionate wealth. This is disproportionate wealth, where the rich have so much money they can influence everything.

As this is being written, the Occupy Wall Street Movement is being violently evicted by the police, who are caving in after lots and lots of pressure from local businesses. This is New York, local businesses are very large corporations. This is one example of how the 1% (I am only continuing to refer to them as such because it is much easier to write than 'the very rich people', even if it is not 100% accurate) can influence things.
They can influence America's laws by sending congressmen, via lobbyists, the message "Hey.. hey you.. yes you... you see this bill? If you vote in favor/vote against this bill some not-entirely-related third party will make a very generous donation to your campaign for when you are running to be re-elected. You want that.. don't you?".

While what happens in America may not be that important, what laws pass over there can have an impact on New Zealander's daily lives, because a lot of the internet resides in America. Any privacy laws, any censorship laws, any laws regarding the internet will effect any site that resides in the US borders, which are a lot of the sites we go to in our day to day lives. Google, YouTube, Twitter, FaceBook, those would be affected by those laws.
Even if it isn't related to the internet, a big law being adopted by America, they could easily pressure smaller nations like us to adopt the same policy.
Though that hasn't always worked in the past, especially where New Zealanders where strongly against (*cough*nuclearpower*cough), it doesn't mean it can't work, especially if the majority of the population do not know what is wrong with the law.

Looking over what I have written, I am glad I did not write it on a piece of paper and hold it up to a camera, that would have to be a f**king long piece of paper.
Yes I know I can swear, but writing f**k makes me feel better.

Anyway, my point is this.
Percentages do not matter. What matters is what you think as a person, and you need to take responsibility of what you think and how you express it.
I am 1.42857143x10^-10% of the population, you are 1.42857143x10^-10% of the population. The numbers don't matter by themselves, but what matters is how they add up.

Wait, crap, the percentage is meant to go at the end of the message right? That's how the people holding the paper up do it?
Shit.

If you need more information to help make up your mind:
Here is a video on why economic inequality is a bad thing
This is what Occupy Wall Street wants to fix.


Here are some random thoughts:
SCIENCE.
Are they seriously sending in bulldozers into Liberty Square?
I should probably have gotten around to finishing that title clip for that L4D2 footage...
I'm a lazy f**k.

Best of luck to all of you.
