Yeah, that's all well and good, but typically doing the things you love either:
1) Don't pay you (sex)
2) Actually cost money (travelling, eating awesome food, building kickass race cars that like to explode, etc)

The bottom line is that there's a bunch of work in the world that nobody LOVES to do (or wants to do for that matter), but it still has to get done. If you're (not meaning you, but people in general) not willing to do it, China is. Then you have NO job.

I'm a firm believer in doing what you love to do, even if it doesn't pay as much.... I've had nothing, and I've had plenty, and I can honestly say that money isn't what makes the difference.

With that said, I think the point here is pretty clear - You can sit around and complain, or you can get off your butt and DO something about YOUR situation... Interfering with people trying to get to their jobs on Wall Street, disrupting traffic in downtown Phoenix, causing a disturbance on a campus in CA, and blocking port traffic on the left coast isn't accomplishing a thing except creating low-hanging fruit for dimwitted reporters and generating dissension among the people that are SUPPOSED to be "united" against a common foe.

Like I said before, these pinheads couldn't carry Rosa's purse. The two "protests" are as different as apples and oranges.

I'm sorry, but I can't break a nickel, Greg. And that's the last time I ever say "Just pay what you think it's worth".
