   I have been to both the Tea Party and the Occupy gatherings. There is a stark contrast.
   The Tea Par-tiers I have met are educated, responsible people who are deeply concerned for their country. They believe we are headed in a way that will destroy the freedom and financial system that has been the envy of the world. They are willing to work within the system to legally fix and preserve it.
   Few of the "Occupiers" seemed to have a clear idea of what they are protesting. Their knowledge of American history, of the ones I talked to, was almost non existent. They knew not the difference between a Democracy and a Republic.
Most though that socialism/communism was the answer because the government gave you things. In short, most seemed pathetic and little prepared to earn a living.
   There was a great difference between the areas where the meetings occurred. The Tea Par-tiers left only tracks while the area of the Occupiers was almost knee deep in paper, bottles, cans, feces and condoms. And these are the ones who want to "save the planet."
