have been wishing for that from the first week. It's big movement and definitely there are reasons to offer constructive criticism, but a lot of it here was far from constructive sadly. To be fair though, it was only a few people.

I love some of the things they are doing now, such as saving people's homes from foreclosure in ways you would think Congress could have done.

Buying up loans and then forgiving them, one of the best things they have done recently. And mostly, I love how they are winning every case against them in the courts. That is a testament to how they were organized before they even went onto the streets, re photographing every arrest to ensure that if the police lied, they had proof of those lies. And they have.

Like all Social Justice movements, OWS will probably go through many changes but I doubt they will go away until something is done about the conditions that created them in the first place.
