I think a number of these folks are just having withdrawals. Without a Republican in the White House they have been unable to get their protest on and were needing a fix.
The fact that Obama (no stranger to protests and the positions espoused by the OWS peeps) is president complicates the situation, hence the muddled message.

"who in a stream of consciousness puts all her resentment on paper"
The irony police should have pepper sprayed Don Foster when he wrote that line.

This whole thing is tailor made for blinders usage on all sides.

I get a day off every once in a while too. It's a four day weekend for columbus day.
I guess we should be flattered you spent your whole day off with us
Have a good holiday weekend. If you happen to be in town......."Spread the word in your schools, homes, neighborhoods, places of worship, everywhere about the Un-Columbus Day @ Occupy Wall Street on 10/10/11 at noon at Liberty Plaza. Get your schools to endorse this event and invite all the students to come. Let the world see how much the children want their world changed.
Bring your children so they can be a part of the movement to save their future. We need to make a statement with our presence. Show the world that our children are engaged in the movement.
*Children are requested to dress as if they're going to school - one of the points of this event is that it's not a day where they should be out of school, they should be in school on 10/10/11. If they wear a uniform, put it on. If you have a school shirt, wear it."

I glanced at the site where people wrote their problems and held them up. Everyone has problems, some bigger than others, some smaller. Life isn't fair. I'm not sure what occupying Wall Street or anything we as a society could do would make life fair. Anything that would even try would only succeed in making everyone equally miserable more than anything else.
As for the list of demands site, that is pure fantasy land. Most of that would never come to pass as America is presently constituted.

I thought you boys would have a good time with those sites.
Thanks!
But seriously, what is the end game? I can't see how street protests will help Obama get re-elected. Are they supposed to win back the independents who voted with the Tea Party in the last election?
