10. OWS is just being born. They'll develop and mature but how that happens is up to them.
I often see media pundits and opposition party figures slamming OWS over their lack of message or leadership as if it were a bad thing. Right now they have a very simple and powerful message which is "we are the 99%".

IMO the best way to make a difference is just recognize the message is gaining traction and roll with it instead of forcing professional spin doctors and millionaire "leaders" onto this movement. I can't think of a better way to kill OWS off before it gets a chance to make a real difference.

Maybe it takes a year maybe two but real leaders will emerge along with concrete policy points.
