re: #202 Atlas Fails

I gotta say, you were right and I was wrong about OWS. I got swept up in the momentum of a genuine left-wing political movement focusing on wealth disparity, but when that focus faded and all that remained were 4Chan douchebags and AdBusters, I realized that they were just too radical and, in the case of Anonymous, too malicious for me.

See, I view OWS a bit differently. While it has now, best as I can tell, collapsed in upon its own decentralized, disorganized, unfocused self, I do think that it provided a service to the country in helping pull income and wealth disparity into the discussion at a time when it was being dominated by deficit and debt talk. I see this as a positive, even if OWS itself seems to have made itself irrelevant.
