(62,325 posts)been waiting for and fully supported from its inception, as well as many elected Democrats. That is very odd to me. OWS is a Global Movement, how odd that you don't know that.
Since you know so little about them, let me explain something to you. OWS was meant to last only, at most, two weeks. That was because people learned that no matter how big a demonstration was, see the anti-war demonstrations, they are ignored and have no effect whatsoever. They decided to stay for a week or two to make sure they could not be ignored.
Also, they intended to be only in NYC. But look what happened. After achieving all of their goals, staying for two weeks, attracting large crowds, remaining in NYC, instead of going home, the movement spread across the country like wildfire, and protesters all over the world adapted their title of 'Occupier' even though we here in the US were late to join the global movement when we did we had a huge impact.
When you decide to comment on something it's a good idea to know what you are talking about. OWS will grow and grow until the crimes that collapsed the world's economies and are still having a disastrous effect around the world, are dealt with. Sorry if that offends you.
