Do you honestly think they are focused or effective?  Have you seen change come about from their movement?  Outside of the increased amount of man-hours for local law enforcement.

I don't - I see more talk - and maybe because my job is talk, talk, talk - I don't see talk bringing about change.  Their "so called" movement was supposed to bring about change.  I don't see it.

If it has happened, please point it out to me.[/quote]

Given the immensity of the change that OWS is demanding, you are hardly being realistic to have expected them to have accomplished it by now. But, as I posted earlier in this thread, the impact of OSS is not deniable. I pointed out the dramatic increase in the times "income inequality" was mentioned in the media. Simply getting people to talk about the topic is significant. I also illustrated how Obama's speech and, indeed, the entire focus of his re-election campaign has been influenced by OWS. A OWS protester was on the cover of Time's "Person of the Year" issue and, of course, "Person of the Year" was "The Protester".

We are now in the "Get off of my lawn" phase of the protest in which grumpy people who have never done anything to change anything are complaining about OWS not changing things.
