5. Pretty simple: "I want a bunch of ridiculously cheap Chinese-made
electronics, and I'm willing to stand outside in 20-degree weather to do it."

4. Maybe OWS should move to the Wal-Mart parking lot, get there BEFORE
Edited on Sat Nov-19-11 01:01 AM by Common Sense Party
the Black Friday drones, and protest that corporation. That's one way to get more of the 99% to come to the protest.

7. People camped out for Star Wars for months.
Teenagers have been camping out for Twilight for weeks.

It's okay as long as the goal is to consume.

8. Occupy should camp out at every store
possible, just to prove the point.

OWS you are free to camp out at every store as long as you look like possible customers.

11. Good question butyou know the answer. The shoppers are "camping" on the store property
& it's perfectly fine with the store.

12. I believe most stores are opening early, negating the need
to camp out. I just heard on the tv that Target was opening at 2 a.m. Friday. This is actually a help for it means that coffee will be readily available, as well as restrooms and heat. Perhaps they and others anticipated this comparison, but I still think it is a good idea.

13. doesn't this just mean people will start getting there at 10 pm or something
to camp out until the 2 am opening ?

rather than get there at 1 am for the 5 am opening ?
