11. I appreciate the link in the Original Post.

Is the purpose of physical occupation to get media attention? Is there any other benefit to physical occupation? Given the large number of people involved, it seems inevitable that organizing through the internet would be more orderly, more convenient, and less expensive than organizing in person.

13. Our dictators are the banks and the Wall Street/ corporate elite.

14. Didn't the government of Egypt cut off internet access?

Also, wouldn't a general strike be effective? Do you actually need people to travel to their workplaces and hold picket signs to make it clear that what happened wasn't the rapture? ;)
