Reply #24: sorry, but that is so wrong. After the damage was done, OWS would be toast.

You apparently have a lot more trust in the 1% than we do.

They can knock out an individual leader, and we lose the fight.

There's no way they can knock out the collective mind and win.

We have no genuine bargaining power in government. It has become almost exclusively the province of the 1%.

OWS is how we will attain egalitarian democratic control.

So far we have used "unorthodox" methods as a means to our successes.

We will continue to use "outside the box" methods in order to obtain the ability to negotiate effectively and satisfactorily with the PTB.

The "box" has already been closed to us.

We have no representative legal power to challenge the control of the 1%, because the 1% controls the representation.

The old ways no longer work.
