Look, I find it somewhat distasteful to nit pic and bicker regarding all the inevitable minutia inherent to a huge, spread out, experimental movement such as OWS is conducting. Neither you, nor I, are privy to all the facts necessary in discussing intelligently the various pros and cons of this movement.

The important thing is, we both are on the same side; we oppose the current tyranny of the 1%, and we both wish for a more humane, fair, and "optimistic" future for our posterity.

There is nothing wrong with pointing out what you perceive as strategic, or tactical, mistakes OWS sometimes makes. I, simply view things through a different prism than you, or some others, do.

I said before that one of the tactics OWS is using is to to put Democracy to a test. Are we living under freedom, or simply the illusion, the patina, of freedom? Would Christ have resorted to the meally mouthed pretext  the NYC Church is resorting to to deny these people sanctuary?

My guess is that helping the down trodden is a wonderful concept....until it becomes, you know, uncomfortable.

Like you, I find many things about OWS I don't fully understand. But, as a supporter, I will not try to micro manage my support, and extend it, or retrieve it based on them satisfying my concept of what I think they should be doing.
