"What criticism is the writer trying to make in his letter to the editor about The Occupy Movement?   Alternatives to protest I RESPECT people's right to protest, but if the Occupy Melbourne inhabitants have a genuine conscience regarding social justice, there are plenty of better causes than corporate capitalism to turn their energies toward. Instead of setting up makeshift tents and creating a public eyesore, how about travelling to the Northern Territory to help build a school in an indigenous community? Or how about assisting the Salvation Army with young people at risk and living on the streets? How about offering to visit and read to lonely seniors at a local nursing home? Or is it just easier to grow dreadlocks, make cardboard slogans and frustrate regular working citizens?
