In various cities across the country, mobs of mostly young, mostly incoherent, often noisy and sometimes violent demonstrators are making themselves a major nuisance.
Meanwhile, many in the media are practically gushing over these "protesters," and giving them the free publicity they crave for themselves and their cause whatever that is, beyond venting their emotions on television.
Members of the mobs apparently believe that other people, who are working while they are out trashing the streets, should be forced to subsidize their college education and apparently the president of the United States thinks so too.
But if these loudmouths' inability to put together a coherent line of thought is any indication of their education, the taxpayers should demand their money back for having that money wasted on them for years in the public schools.
Sloppy words and sloppy thinking often go together, both in the mobs and in the media that are covering them.
It is common, for example, to hear in the media how some "protesters" were arrested. But anyone who reads this column regularly knows that I protest against all sorts of things and don't get arrested.
The difference is that I don't block traffic, join mobs sleeping overnight in parks or urinate in the street. If the media cannot distinguish between protesting and disturbing the peace, then their education may also have wasted a lot of taxpayers' money.
Among the favorite sloppy words used by the shrill mobs in the streets is "Wall Street greed." But even if you think people in Wall Street, or anywhere else, are making more money than they deserve, "greed" is no explanation whatever.

Speak the Truth, Brother Sowell!
He always does
I only wish we could get Thomas Sowell to run for President. But apparently, he makes to much sense to be elected in our country.
If only we could get Thomas Sowell to run for President.
Nah. He makes too much sense.
Great line!
Cain/Sowell!!
If the 99 percent are really tired of Occupy filth scumming up their streets and parks and ruining business, vote out the local politicians who lack the backbone to stop it. Occupy isn’t free speech, it’s clutter.
And the 99% do not push back or oppose the 1% — that has been the problem with the establishment of political correctness.
Obama has been using these to drum up sympathy for his cause, and it's time to make him own them.
Start calling them what they really are:
Spread the meme....
