Already it's raised the consciousness of Americans and changed the conversations we're having. I think there's a real potential for change, but only time will tell.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-67630547058442831942011-11-26T18:00:46.573-05:002011-11-26T18:00:46.573-05:00The Occupy Wall Street movement has been immensely...The Occupy Wall Street movement has been immensely frustrating for me to watch. On the one hand, the Occupiers are drawing attention to issues we should be discussing. On the other, they've conducted themselves in a directionless manner that shows little potential to actually facilitate the reforms this county desperately needs. <br /><br />I would like to see a more focused version of Occupy Wall Street, something that could serve as a genuine counterpart to the Tea Party.BrightenedBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04140255969796496082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-77488633085597515702011-11-23T11:03:49.305-05:002011-11-23T11:03:49.305-05:00Sometimes I think of the lies that would be told i...Sometimes I think of the lies that would be told if all those video cameras weren't rolling.
