1. Lovely analysis.

[Zorra]

2. But, but...OWS has no clear message!

[randome]

3. They don't.

If they want to effect real change, OWS needs to march on Washington. That's where greater, more equitable regulations will come from, not from the banks or Wall Street.

M: Oh look, this isn't an argument.
A: Yes it is.
M: No it isn't. It's just contradiction.
A: No it isn't.
M: It is!
A: It is not.
M: Look, you just contradicted me.
A: I did not.
M: Oh you did!!
A: No, no, no.
M: You did just then.
A: Nonsense!
M: Oh, this is futile!
A: No it isn't.
M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
snip--
M: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.

5. yeah, unfortunately I keep reading that same meme on all the boards I post on.

Probably sockpuppet trolls paid to repeat that over and over again so somehow people will think it's true.

8. If there is a message to be sent...

...send it to the right people!

If all OWS is going to be about is thousands of people milling about in a hundred cities, how is that sending a message?

And if they don't have jobs right now, what better way to spend their time than to march to the people who can really change things.

MARCH ON WASHINGTON!

4. Well, there's a sitting President and ten losers out there talking jobs too.

The losers are just paying lip service, though.
