I noticed that Fox News runs a story about this constantly and yet don't talk about any of the other OWS protests, really at all.

Wonder why that is ...

Good lord man. Even your facts are wrong on this one - they show plenty of OWS action; wherever the action is they are showing it.

Is Greece really going to have that kind of effect on the global economy? What the hell do they even produce? Olives and Birkenstocks?

We bailed the banks of America out because we were told they are just to huge to fail and the whole economy would go belly up. Well we bailed them out at the expense of everyday Americans. We either believe in the free market or we don't.

Sure, and it would make 100 % sense to report on that. But repeating that story over and over, with commentators, while almost completely ignoring the rest of the protests?

It is blatantly obvious that Fox is intentionally and deliberately trying to mischaracterize the entire movement based on the protests in Oakland and events there.

Funny because I typed in the words "OWS defecating" in google yesterday and got a story about OWS protests in about 15 different cities. Hilarious.

People have money tied up in greece. It would kill the euro.

And I totally understand that and don't disagree that it will hurt investors. However, Greece has been having these discussions for quite some time now and it is apparent to me that the Greeks are not interested in changing their ways and cutting spending. So on that note, should they not be allowed to fail on their own accord? They are a sovereign nation that has made these poor fiscal decisions. At some point it is better to just cut your losses and start over. IF money is continually pumped in we have no reason to believe Greece will not continue to overspend going into the future, which only makes the situation worse.

Is anyone upset that Oakland is burning? I am not a fan of anything that "Occupy" stands for (if the movement even stands for anything); however, I am tickled that they have decided to rid the world of Oakland.

I'm not. All of the trash in Oakland is going to start pushing across the bay. SF is bad enough, the last thing it needs is to be a refugee camp for Oaklanders.

Sucks to be people who tied their money up in a bad system. No need to drag all of us down.

Does anyone believe a collapse of the Euro wouldn't have serious negative repurcussions in the United States?

Necessary growing pains. I want us to be collectively healthier. I don't want to mask the symptoms. That doesn't fix anything in the long run. That's when the serious repercussions really kick in.

What's the fix, then?

Maybe I'm selfish, but I'd love to retire comfortably one day.

Let people fail. It's what happens in a healthy economy. If you don't allow people to fail, then the mechanisms of the marketplace become distorted. Distortion of the market for quick fixes is what got Greece where it is (and us where we are).

This is true in a textbook.
