I'm a strong supporter of the OWS movement, even though, I've had the same criticism - that being, that not having a clear focus might be detrimental to the movement. At the same time, I've always understood that it's about a lot more than can succinctly articulated in 25 words or less, because it's what I've been writing about, like you, for the past half dozen years or so. It's just not as simple as "this is our list of demands", and requires a real overhaul of what is a very broken system. <br /><br />I really hope that people do start to listen, because none of the alternatives are very palatable.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930142685890514338.post-70651383311275307462011-11-11T22:02:32.236-05:002011-11-11T22:02:32.236-05:00Thank you.

I admit that I've mostly been hearing nebulous things about the Occupy movement (mostly Boston not Wall Street... guess where I live! :-P) but not actually been tracking down info.<br /><br />And those that were "handing out info" at UMass were less than reliable sources (oh my gods they are terrible spokespersons you don't even want to know how much incendiary language they were using relegating them to unreliable narrator status...) and I found it hard to find actual data.<br /><br />On the other hand, I got to be the first (today!) to talk to my mother about it. I didn't know it was possible to be less informed than I.<br /><br />But again, thanks for the more info. I will be looking more into the movement.Dea-chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140404243041621186noreply@blogger.com
