I posted a status update on my Facebook page on Oct. 6 with my tongue slightly in cheek:

But as the days have passed, it looks like I was right. This has become the most-mentioned “demand” by the 20-somethings being interviewed by bloggers (because they certainly aren’t being interviewed by the media). Here’s my favorite clueless-protester interview:

This guy has no clue why other people should not be expected to pay for his college tuition. No clue at all.

The demonstrators say that selfish plutocrats are ruining our economy and creating an unjust society. Rather, a group of predominantly rather spoiled and coddled young persons, long favored and subsidized by the American taxpayer, are complaining that society has not given them enough — they want the taxpayer to foot the bill for their years of limited learning and heavy partying while in college. Hopefully, this burst of dimwittery should not pass muster even in our often dysfunctional Congress.
