Occupy Oakland damages itself more than ports

98. I am thrilled with the progress of this movement. It's now in over 2,000 cities worldwide

Way, way beyond what was planned, let alone anticipated. Lol, do you think any movement plans massive marches every day? Of course not, but wait until the next one that IS planned, takes place. Even those not really planned, such as in NY less than three weeks ago in the middle of the week, turned out over 40,000. And around the country and the world, smaller ones in solidarity. On short notice.

But the big ones being planned will be massive once the Winter activities are over, my favorite now are the Foreclosure occupations and the homes they have saved, building an even bigger following including Churches in poor neighborhoods, just this week.

This movement has touched every segment of society. Recent polls show they are more popular than most other large, social change movements ever were and they are only beginning.

We are now at the 'beginning of the beginning' which will probably last at least one year as they gather more and more supporters each day. Are you really this unaware of what is going on with this movement? Have you NO idea of the plans and the accomplishments that are happening all over the country each day?

I find it odd that someone on DU would be so opposed to a movement most Democrats have been planning and hoping for for the past ten years.

But, the minority won't stop this. This is going to grow and grow and you can either join it and move into the future, or stay behind hoping for the impossible. I am happy to see the future finally unfolding. It's way, way past due as the poll numbers for Occupy demonstrate. The people are ready, more than ready, for big changes in the direction of this country. And I don't know a single progressive who is not on board to make it happen.

Those remaining on the old, failed path, are on the wrong side of history.
