"Fighting Corporate Greed" is way too general. Why don't you "fight" specific companies that do bad things? Occupy McDonald's - because of how they use resources and provide awful food that is so cheap people eat it instead of buying real food. You are not occupying Wall Street and neither is ...

commented:
