We don't need an occupy Rose Parade, just stupid. There aren't many things we can enjoy anymore, at least we have the parade. The people working hard to build the floats all volunteer their time. All of the occupying in my view should be talking place in Washington DC where the worst sitting President and Congress in the history of the nation reside. The Rose Parade is a great tradition, whomever is organizing these occupying events should organize a vote to oust any sitting Congressman or Senator representing their state because that's where you need to take your aciton. I feel for everyone who is unemployed and struggling and hope the economy comes back so everyeone can propser, but it starts with making changes in Washington first! The entire crew there is more interested in keeping their jobs than doing what's right for the country, and they spend our money on those things that matter most to them, which is to be re-elected. The short memory of the people of this country and poor voter turnout is leaving us with sitting representation that is unfit to serve this great nation. Lack of the people voicing their disdaine by not voting them out has led to the systemic failure in place in Washington. Make a difference, vote!, n think brfore u cast it!... and leave the parade alone, its one of the few things we have to take our mind off of how screwed up our country is.

Perhaps it's because you and "Occupy" are a pathetic joke that no one gives a flying f*#@ about? Quit whining about Corporate America and go get a job! And don't presume to spew drivel about there being no jobs. Go to North Dakota, they are desperately seaching for people. Oh wait, that would be outside your self aggrandizing, myopic comfort zone; "Who, me, go to North Dakota for a high paying job?
