OWS ~ The Progressive's Primary

Either statement is too general. The Republican in-fighting and pop-squating in Congress has certainly turned some people off. Others have conceeded to the ridiculous.

Anyways, back to OWC... while I do give these people some props for actually caring and getting off their couch, it seems terribly misguided.
Those people deserve an equal voice in government, but it's their strategy I question. You would think they would occupy Capitol Hill. Good God, there is where most the crooks are employed. Or occupy the ports (the trade with China), or the boarder with Mexico... that's where your jobs went. Go occupy your guidance office, the people that told you we should all have service-support jobs.
Go occupy rehab. Most employeers have a drug-free policy. Go occupy a voter registration position. Go occupy your Congressman's inbox. There are thousands of better things to occupy than a park.

It seems you misunderstand the mission of the OWS protesters. This may help:

OWS Mission Statement

"As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments.

We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known."

blah, blah, blah...

For the real mission, just look to the motives of those who are pulling the strings. Believe me, it's not this claptrap they put in their mission statement.
