7. Partially agree - careful disruption can be effective
But I also agree with other posters that TPTB are going to be looking for any opportunity to shut the protests down.

At this point the resistance is very new and due to lack of organization I would caution against anything that could get violent. Sit-ins in a new location, marches, strike if possible in NYC.

I don't think there is enough widespread support yet to do much more. Check the occupy site for actions on Nov. 17
