Robert Sheets at The Libertarian Enterprise - one man's opinion of the Occupy San Francisco movement.

I must say, I am disappointed in many of the activists involved (not all). They are camped out in Justin Herman Plaza in deep downtown San Francisco. Many seem to get up and go to Starbucks for latte (instead of the local guy coffee shop a block away) then eat lunch at an adjacent Carls Jr, Taco Bell, etc. (instead of walking across the street to a local farmers market or over a block or two to the Mission street local food guys). Then they spend the day demanding justice from the same corporations they are funneling their $$ into... buying sweatshirts from the Gap instead of street vendors, who work right on the plaza. The attendant at the corporate parking lot says the lot is full of protesters Toyotas, SUVs, etc., day and night.
