NEW YORK (AP) — As other protesters chanted vigorously around her, Nancy Pi-Sunyer stood off to the side at the Occupy Wall Street rally, clutching her sign, looking a little like a new teacher on the first day of school.
In a way, she was: At 66, this retired teacher was joining a protest for the first time in her life.
"I was too young for the civil rights movement," Pi-Sunyer said earlier this week as she joined thousands of protesters marching in lower Manhattan. "And during the Vietnam War, I was too serious a student. Now, I just want to stand up and have my voice be heard."
As the protests have expanded and gained support from new sources, what began three weeks ago as a group of mostly young people camping out on the streets has morphed into something different: an umbrella movement for people of varying ages, life situations and grievances, some of them first-time protesters.
There are a few common denominators among the protesters: their position on the left of the political spectrum, and the view that the majority in America — the "99 percent," in their words — isn't getting a fair shake.

They are nothing like me - just as an example I work, pay my bills and my taxes too.

I agree that the protesters are a lot like me, at least that part of my anatomy that I sit on.
Not like me, I just took a shower. I do own a hooded sweatshirt, if that helps.
1. I do not live in my Mother’s basement (even when I was unemployed for 2 years).
2. I do not blame my problems on the 1%.
3. I bathe.
4. I have a good understanding that economic laws won’t allow for silliness like forgiveness of all world debt.
5. I believe that actions have consequences and that we are responsible for our own lives.
6. I don’t crap in public.
7. I don’t smoke pot so I can “be creative.”
8. I am self-employed because I couldn’t find a job and I like it that way.
9. I don’t have time to live like a bum for 3 weeks protesting.
10. and I repeat, I bathe and don’t live with my parents.
So NO, I’m not like any of you communist hippies.
“in NY there are over 10,000 unemployed lawyers!”
We, that is certainly good news!
Propaganda puff piece from the Associated Propagandist
“I came here from MICHIGAN because the top 20 percent are waging class warfare against the rest of the U.S.,” it read in part. Walters, 58, also a former teacher, had driven all the way from Michigan with her husband, Rich.”
Former teacher. Meaning retired teacher who at the age of 58 will be getting a public employee pension for the rest of her life. No wonder she has time to drive over to New York.
"This is NOT the future I was promised!!!"
“This is the future you were promised.”
These people will still vote for Obama even know he pushes and passes his stimulus bills that take money from the people and give it to select large corporations.
What *You*?... Like *Me*?... Like *That*?”
“U’m in the Colony of Slippermen!
“There’s no who, what, why, or when!”
