25. OWS enjoys far higher % of support among the masses than the
Democrats (or Repukes) do currently. I would say the legitimacy and sovereignty of elected Dem officials is starting to crumble, esp in Oakland after Tuesday night.

In the American War for Independence, roughly 33% favored independence, 33% favored remaining British subjects and 33% were neutral on the question, acc. to a couple historians I've read.

Latest polls show 54% broadly agree w/ OWS, while 24% oppose, so that's a better than 2-1 position in favor of OWS currently. And it's only about 45 days old.
