@ Major Hogwash:

OWS has had a great deal of impact on politics. Time will tell how much impact on culture. Such things take a bit longer.

A DU reader would find many examples by simply browsing these pages. Either you are in denial or you haven't been reading them.

Feel free to diminish the movement. It shall continue on with or without you.

Spitting in to the wind is a rather inconsequential exercise.
