There are a lot of fantastic positive changes that could eventually spill over from the #OccupyWallStreet movement currently celebrating a “Day of action” by parading around the five boroughs and generally fouling up folks’ day with traffic jams. Yes it is inconvenient but on balance there needs to be attention paid to the stifling income inequality in this country. In that sense these protesters are fighting the good fight.

That said, couldn’t we get a better looking bunch of people out in front of these important issues. Hippies, have taken the rein of this movement and perhaps that is fair or maybe it is 2011 and we should be doing better. Instead the front lines of  our economic revolution are being  manned by white kids with dreadlocks, drum circles, and a stench akin to a pile of kids sleeping in their own filth for a month. Is this the best and most active we have to offer? There are good enough looking folks tweeting about this stuff.

If anything is going to bring down this movement it is the trend of smelling awful, playing bongos and letting our collective hair knot and tie until they are huge clumps of grease.
