As OWS grows there is a definite ...disturbance in the force
And that means we will see more...desperation to try to discredit it. Remember kids...this is the last thing our fearless political and economic elites expected.

8. What was it about her message you really did not like?
Did she piss you off by calling people you like scared and desperate? Just wondering what the motivation was for such a shallow attempt.

7. Look at everything #OWS has stirred up...wall street guilt, bank schemes, media corruption, police
brutality...for your consideration...and rejection. This is Change :D

12. I can imagine a variation of this conversation taking place on Wall Street:
Banker: "There is a grave disturbance in the Force. We have a new enemy, the young rebel who destroyed our Tea Party." He could destroy us." Congress: If he could be turned, he could be a powerful ally." Banker:"Can it be done?" Congress: "He will join us or die, my master." God I watch Star Wars way too much.

13. That's from all the dead weight of moderates.
Hopefully the radicals will continue to outnumber them.

20. It's the sound of the Guardians of Hierarchy coming to life.
Edited on Thu Oct-20-11 09:39 PM by GliderGuider
The Guardians of Hierarchy are the corporate, political, legal, police and media institutions whose job it is to defend the power/wealth hierarchy that is the backbone of our civilization. It took them a while to recognize the Occupy movement as a threat. Now that they have, they are circling their intended prey looking for an opening to strike. Let's hope we don't give them one.

23. +1000
The Guardians understand money, leaders, politics and law. If you don't present them with openings in any of those areas, the movement will be much harder to attack.
