So anything OWS does is right and everything police do is wrong

99. I've been to the OWS in Youngstown.

It was more a protest than occupation that only lasted a long weekend and consisted mostly of union leaders and local party officials. I admit that at 58 years old, I'm not going to live on a sidewalk for any length of time at all, but I would be interested in joining a national union that collects dues and garners much needed political clout.

The problem as I see it isn't that labor is not involved, it's that the movement speaks with a million voices. It's like a local WalMart where 200 workers air their complaints to management on an individual basis. The company surely hears everyone, but listens to no one. Eventually, they fire disgruntled employees one worker at a time until the others get the message.

One day soon, OWS has to take assessment of it's accomlishments to date and make a decision whether change is being affected. I hope before that day arrives a unifying voice comes forward and organizes the movement into a political force that works within the system to make forward progress before it's too late and people just go home. One person at a time.

I'm not discounting the movement or it's causes, I just strongly disagree with strategy.
