re: #131 000G

The thing is: Bringing up ideas for solutions for positive change is a challenge to the whole of society, not just OWS. OWS so far mostly provided focus on the issues until a mishmash of their own incompetence, the media’s obsession with spectacle above sophistication, and a vicious RWNJ smear campaign made the focus about lice and poop instead of the country being choked.

OWS has provided focus, has provided energy. But now it needs to do more with that, has to start promoting solutions and setting goals. A movement without a goal is pointless, it’s just people milling around, bitching about how things are bad but with no clue as to how make them better.
