Wall Street Protests

Old news, tw. They colluded and did the deed together. Good.

Perhaps now Occupy will get more serious on getting a more unified position and cohesive as a unit.

That could be the largest problem with the movement.

Let's not forget the 1960s. A peace movement was rabid across America. And as everyone now knows, it was correct. That diversified movement shared a common and obvious enemy – the Nam war. Resulting in one of the two most famous marches on Washington since the bonus army. So what happened? America elected Nixon who knew the war was lost. But who massacred the most American soldiers in Nam for nothing but his political agenda.

Why did the peace movement, instead, go quiet? Learn from history. The Occupy movement is at greater risk from same due to an even greater convoluted message. Maybe pressure will force a message. History suggests otherwise. The movement does not have a Martin Luther King.
