(4,835 posts)I agree that people are getting away from their computers and interacting outdoors is one of the major pluses.
Anyone who thinks that the OWS movement is dead isn't paying attention to the seasons.
Spring is when people plant and prepare for the summer. The Occupy movement started last fall. The end of the growing season. That is when it should be active.
The local bunch went to Philadelphia Pennsylvania with a bunch of other groups for the 4th. I saw a thread on here about occupy in Philly before I went to the local group's page and read that they went there.
I don't agree with the methods of the movement. Being former military; I tend toward a well established command structure. This goes contrary to the movement. My wife explains to me that I just don't understand. I agree, but I am still glad that they are out there as a thorn in the side. I wish I could join them, but just as I don't contribute money to entities that look at money as the only solution to all of their problems (i.e. politicians); I don't give them money, but I've given them eggs and pecans.
I wish they would pick a product to boycott; that way the world could see just how much clout they have.
