There was an awkward moment last week in our local Wall Street protest that crystallized why this movement, like the Tea Party a year before, makes me squirm. The Occupy Seattle folks issued a list of demands to the mayor, asking for tents and a free, 24-hour parking space. My first thought when I heard this was: Free parking? Is it too late for me to join Occupy Seattle?
Gee, somebody noticed.
