Is this the difference between the TEA Party and the DC & OWS protests?

I hope for your sake no. OWS doesn't get as much privilege as you may think. No matter how big it's gotten the media pays little attention to it and the government doesn't do a damn thing about it, then they anger the protesters by evicting them from a public park and beating on them at 2 in the morning.

Check out "Occupy Wall Street Police Brutality" there are thousands of videos of the true colors the media won't show you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
