The one good thing about the violent clearing out of the OWS...
is that it will bring even more people into the movement.

They never seem to realize that every time they move against the people it angers many more and the movement swells.

A hydra of a revolution is amassing and the more they try to knock it down, the stronger it will grow.

It's grown past the point where repression will destroy it.

The only thing that will truly destroy the movement now is for those in power to address the issues that the people demand.

5. Do you envision people giving up now and letting the 1% take everything?
The issue is out in the open now and until something is done about it the resistence will grow.
Unfortunately it will probably take years and become much more extreme on both sides before it actually starts to effect change.

6. I hope you're right, kablooie. The local news here in NC is moving to the right
the way they are reporting it, and I keep wanting to throw something at the teevee. I just keep getting so mad I don't know what to do.
