So now Occupy is against world trade and capitalism? They will lose support of the 50+% of the 99%

101. As I said, you will need more than your opinion

Where is the movement toward the future? Where is organizing, and teaching people to be autonomous and smart and strong enough to beat those people AT SOMEONES ELSE'S GAME?

I thought you knew something about the movement? How about opening their own banks as one example? Moving their money, billions in a few days into community banks and forcing BOA to abandon their plan to raise fees just because they are greedy? Did Congress manage to stop those fees? No, but a few protesters, well organized did what Congress either refused to do or could not do. How about conducting learning sessions with some of this country's top economists, like Stiglitz eg? Or stopping foreclosures, something else Congress couldn't manage to do but a few protesters accomplished and still are every day, and showed them the way, not that they care.

Just a couple of small examples you apparently have not heard of. As for 'hitting cops', that never happened, it was the other way around, old ladies and the disabled among others, beaten, nearly killed and hospitalized, I guess because 'no one is scared of protests'? They sure act like they are. But if all you read Breitbart et al or the Corporate MSM, I guess you would focus on that rather than what has actually and is being done every day. Not everything is about a 'big march' you know.

This movement is in its infancy but is already worldwide and despite your unawareness, hint, as you like to say, it is not ALL ABOUT marching, in fact that is a small part of it, it is here to stay until things change. Stop relying on the Corporate Media if you want to know what's really going on. They changed the language. Have you heard this president say the words 'Austerity' or 'Share the Sacrifice' since polls showed that over 80% of the public agree with OWS's message? Or read how the US Attorney credited OWS with giving him the backing he needed to stand up against 'making a deal' with the Banks when the pressure on him to do so was intense. Or the other elected officials who have joined the movement themselves and some who have joined lawsuits against the brutal crackdown on protesters and the press and even elected officials?

As for the straw man you built, WHO is against Trade? Opposition to Wall Street Corruption and unfair trade does not translate into 'anti-Trade or even Capitalism. OWS has never opposed Capitalism or Trade. You left out the main word that has caused so much opposition to the current economic system. So that shows how little you know of the movement.

And, I do not use 'spell-check'. But fyi, even if I did it would not correct the word 'equality'. It's called 'SPELL-check' for a reason. Inequality was used throughout the post, so I don't know what point you were making, other than a gratuitous attempt to divert, distract, insult, none of which were achieved if that was the goal. Also, advice is not an order. Anyone can post uninformed material here, there is no rule against it, my advice was to try to be informed IF you want credibility.

The rest of your post was not necessary, most of which I agree with, had you understood the topic you chose to take on, OWS you would have known that. And that was the reason for my 'advice'.
