Leonard Pitts Jr. (The Miami Herald, 10/19/11, "World’s eyes on Occupy movement") wrote,
"It is, however, difficult to escape a certain impatience when you consider that the corporate greed and exploitation the movement exists to oppose have gone unquestioned and unchallenged for an unconscionably long time. There is something
grotesque about the idea that one percent of the nation controls more wealth than the bottom 90 percent combined. There is something pitiful about the idea that the bottom 90 has endured economic exploitation in silence for years."
Grotesque: odd or unnatural in shape; bizarre
Do you think Pitts is in support of
or opposes the actions of the Occupy Wall Street group?
As you ponder, savor the image below. I'm sure you'll agree it's not grotesque...
