If you go by the 30 second nightly news account of their demands you would get that impression. I encourage you to take a look at their forum and some of the more detailed written news accounts. You might find what you're looking for.

thanks for posting the link, it has a lot of good information regarding the OWS movement. as usual, the police are heavy handed with the protestors. Violence against the people, yet again.

This is correct, it appears they are unorganized in purpose and intent which means the public is confused as to what exactly they want. Better organization and a written mission statement would have been a smarter move, however I still support their right to assemble and to air their concerns.

Absolutely! Assemble and air away. We have a few in the Marietta/Kennesaw area and it is interesting to watch.

Weren't they out there for a few weeks before they did an online poll to find out WHY they were there?

I can imagine they all had their reasons, the poll was to determine common ground.

Is North still on Fox?
I haven't watched Fox since North demanded Gary Condit resign because Condit obviously was lying concerning the disappearance of Chandra Levy.
That was one surreal episode.
I actually posted an e-mail, that North was hardly one to admonish another about lying, and Fox could have only done worse by having Newt comment on the situation. No surprise, Doh Rielly didn't read my message.
