"The economy is improving, therefore OWS will go away."

284. One more time. You still don't get it....

Change will not be brought about through the electorial process because the corporate state controls all the levers of power. It's impossible to vote against the interests of Goldman-Sachs.

This evening I watched a recent BookTV in-depth interview with Chris Hedges.

Some of the things Hedges reiterated, from the many books he's written:

The question is not how you get good people to rule. Those attracted to power are at best mediocre and at worst venal.

The farther you get from the centers of power, the more latitude you have to bring about change. I think OWS understands this idea. Which is why they would not ally themselves with any one candidate, or with the electoral process in general.

I apologize for my feeble attempts to explain this. I think many on this thread, nadin especially, have tried to clarify what OWS is about. I don't know what more can be said.
