Here is the essence of the OWS movement's failure:

“The Bill of Rights says that we should peacefully assemble if we have grievances, and we do. The grievances are the complete degradation of society through mass in equality. The rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer. The privatization of profits but the nationalization of loss. The complete ignorance, ignorance, or mass lack of attention that there are other economies, this mass Wall Street economy is the only one that actually gets talked about and they gamble freely. Speculators are not good for society, ever society in the world has had problems with speculators and we are having ours right now. There has been so much wrong done by the one percent that I am actually glad that they are screwing up so badly.”

The speaker clearly blames the so-called '1%'--the rich, the speculators, etc. It doesn't occur to her that it is the Federal (and state) government/bureaucracy that enables the very inequality she so vehemently protests.

Changing gears...

Where is the Republican convention next year? I have a feeling that the OWS movement (driven by the unions and Democrat elite) will turn the event into a violent replay of Chicago 1968.

Bomb Explodes at Occupy Maine Campsite

Full story here, excerpts below
http://www.homelandsecurityssi.com/ssi/content/view/1031/296/

11/15/11

The Occupy Maine campsite was rocked by an explosion in the early morning hours on Sunday October 23rd resulting in two Occupy supporters being slightly injured.

A homemade chemical bomb was thrown into Lincoln Park in Portland Maine by a passing vehicle early Sunday morning. Lincoln Park is currently occupied by about thirty tents and around thirty five full time campers of the Occupy Maine movement. The chemical bomb exploded in the heart of the camp releasing fumes and causing mass confusion in the camp. No arrests have been made; however, the charges are no joke as the incident is being viewed as an act of terrorism.

Points to consider:

Police say as of this time no arrests have been made; however the incident is being viewed as an act of terrorism. Consider that some see confusion in the overall Occupation message and as the Occupation movement grows in size and scope each individual Occupation site is starting to wear on the patience of local inhabitants, which may lead to misguided fringe elements in society to take action.
