37. Uh oh...I might make things worse ;)
I was not saying what Descartes said, but I do agree with what he said.

I do think change from OWS will have to come through legislative action...none of this moral BS I hear now about changing the dialogue in politics, and bringing issues to the table. Noble acts, but fleeting longevity and impact on society.

In order to get that change via legislation, my opinion is that we can't trust people in the 1% or incumbents (same thing usually) that promise us they will do our work. I think after the election it will be business as usual, and the OWS movement will have lost its steam at that point. I give the TP credit for getting new people in the primaries and telling the Repub establishment that there selected candidates can go to hell. In a way, Dems did this when we chose Obama over Clinton...Clinton was definitely the establishment choice.

Now, someone that knows the issues better than myself can make an argument otherwise that would persuade me, but that is how I feel as of now.

Did I just leave you more confused? I can live if I left you unpersuaded, but if I made things worse I am stopping before more damage is done:(
