OWS isn't a Relevant Movement to Change Society and May Hurt Us More then It Helps Us

30. Cheer up. You have ALREADY been proven wrong, many times over.

In case you haven't noticed, EVERYthing has changed since OWS began in NYC. By that I mean, OWS has utterly changed the national conversation, about the financial meltdown, the reasons for it, and peoples ability, willingness and determination to stand up to that kind of crass exploitation and greed at the top of the food chain.

Even Mittens had to force himself to mouth the words "I support the 99%", even though everyone knows it's a flat-out lie; for the simple reason that OWS spontaneously grew a huge set of balls, made a dramatic and colorful stand, and made it stick in the collective mind of our nation. Obama has recently been using OWS rhetoric himself, which makes me smile.

What I can't figure out, is why anyone would seek to diminish and belittle OWS's incredible accomplishments, much less ignore it all together.

Oh and, we haven't even seen the American Spring yet. Please spare me of premature postmortems for OWS. This is FAR from over.
