I prefer to address the Government side of the equation. I can't physically be there, but I do what I can locally and through emails, letters and just talking to people. There are not enough people holding the other half of the equation accountable.

I just wish the Tea Party (The smaller groups, not the big money funded one) would have gotten involved with the OWS before the Unions did. They have a lot in common.

Now they will never have a unified message. Just more union spin.

Two thoughts come to mind in reading all of the ows threads.

first.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

Abraham Lincoln, (attributed) 16th president of US (1809 - 1865)


Second, though not a perfect analogy is the different fighting style of the British and Americans in the Revolutionary war. The British had organization and tested techniques that had been proven effective. The Americans seemed disorganized, undisciplined, etc.

I see something similar in all of the recent protests. Those who are experienced in "the way things are done" may be missing the value in some of the techniques being developed and improved over time. I see many people claiming these movements dead and doomed to failure. Maybe, or maybe they are missing something.
