Occupy Wall Street and Game

I’m seeing some interesting parallels. In particular, both groups have legitimate grievances, but the legitimate grievances aren’t what’s driving most of those in both groups.
And the proposed solution, if any, in each case, is appalling.

As a card-carrying member of the oppressive patriarchy, all I can say is: “Mormon women are incredible”*. If these poor fellows only knew how many sweet LDS women are willing to treat a man like a man, and honor his role as husband and father as he honors her role as wife and mother, I can’t help but believe that some would see the light.
*No really, ladies, I really mean it, I’m not just flattering you to make you forget you’re being oppressed….OK, have it your way, you’re not incredible! No, now don’t cry. What do you mean, you “knew it all along”? Oh, come on, now what am I supposed to say?

Vader,
You’re onto something. The stench of self-absorption and self-satisfaction are also endemic to both movements, but that may be just because both movements are made up of humans.
MC,
Good thing we aren’t counseled against loud chortling, or you would have made me sin.

It’s physically impossible for me to laugh through the mask, but His Majesty frequently sins loudly.

Mind you, you are quoting a cad among cads. Those may not be legitimate problems driving him, but they are for a lot of people. Something like Susan Walsh’s site might be more of your style. http://www.hookingupsmart.com
