I have to admit I didn't think Occupy Wall Street was going to last. For some time I though Americans need to start sticking up for themselves and protesting but that too many people are too content with just bitching on the internet. OWS seemed a bit unsure of itself too in the beginning.
Now though it's just growing, it seems more focused and prepared to explain its actions. I hope it continues to grow and if it continues to be ignored by politicians and dismissed by the media I can only hope that everyone takes notice to their government ignoring its people and vote accordingly.
Your average citizen is getting a load of butt hurt from corporations and the government. I do think the people are partially to blame. We've been too content with things the way they are. The bank bail outs should have never happened. It's time we get some payback.
I would never advocate violence or damaging property. So long as people keep it clean and nice as they have been it will only help the movement grow and being peaceful is the way to win. That said if someone cut the head off the charging bull statue on Wall street I can't say I would be upset.
