People seem uneasy with the occupy movements reluctance to have a stated objective. Beyond pointing a finger at the criminal behavior of the financial sector, and the duplicitous role of government, the movement has not embraced a common theme. I submit that this is deliberate.
If you ask 100 people if they think that Washington is broken, the majority will say yes. But if you ask them what to do about it, you will get 100 very different answers. The problem gets worse the more people you ask. Just try to get five people to agree on a pizza.
But I don't think it's the protestors job to find the solutions, that duty belongs to those in Washington who were elected because that's what they told people they wanted to do.
So don't get mad at the people who are trying to point out the problem to the people who caused the problem, and can't seem to admit that there is problem.
I never liked the financial district anyway.
