Column: Rallies are pointless

Recent rallies just an excuse to complain with no effect

Kevin Reynolds / Roundup

Occupy Los Angeles and other rallies such as the Where’s the Funding (WTF) rally are nothing more than an excuse for people to skip out on responsibilities and party in the street.

The message that is supposedly being relayed through this “protest” is that we the people are tired of the “injustices” that are happening around us everyday. From school budget cuts here on campus, to government spending down at city hall.

I will agree that many things need to change. There are severe problems with the way our school and our country are being run. solutions need to be found.

However, these organizations, if they can be called such considering there total lack of organization, have no solutions to offer.

Occupy L.A. has created a website that has a document they call thei declaration that list their complaints. The problem is the document only state complaints with no solutions.

Without a clear message and without solutions to offer these movements is a waste of every ones time. We all know that there are issues; none of us are blind.

What we need now are solutions; not whining in the streets by a bunch of doped up kids who know there is a problem but don’t have enough brain cells left to think up a solution.
