Did you know that elected Dems belong to OWS btw? Or that Occupiers are running for office as Democrats?

They've ALREADY changed the game. Too late to stop it. And it keeps growing worldwide, and the people of countries around the world are now united. That is one big way OWS has changed the game. The People have gone Global. Up to now, it was the Corps who were Global. And they are not one bit pleased that now the people have joined the Global 'Game' that they were free to rig against the world's workers for so long.
