Just asking ... this summer was supposed to be a big summer for OWS. Is that totally gone now? n/t

196. Agreed!

Any failure of OWS certainly has to be attributed to the lack of media coverage. Like many here, I was horrified by the lack of news on Occupy, even when the protest was at a peak, which went on for weeks.

Maybe OWS could have handled the media better, but I confess that I don't know what they could have done to improve that. The major media outlets kinda just ignored them until the police started breaking them up. At least the courts seem to think that no laws were broken, preserving first amendment rights.

I still would like to see them do their thing in Washington where they may get better play. While they are there, they should send a respectful delegation to congressional offices with definite demands. That may get some traction, if it is done right.

Thanks for your support. Many here are assuming I am against OWS. I am not. I just think that they ought to apply pressure where it can do some good.

And I am very encouraged that they will be at both political conventions.
