I hope that what will evolve from this is a coherent set of principles and a civilized action plan. Before that can happen, my guess is that a great deal of venting still needs to take place. One possible benefit of that is that it can attract the attention of other people who are angry, "mad as hell and not going to take it anymore"; and in numbers may lie coherence and strength. The venting itself, though, is in danger of getting out of hand - defecating on banks, threatening thousands of innocent members of the 99% with death (that's what a molotov cocktail would to at the Macy's parade), and so on. My guess: when winter hits we'll start to see a reduction in the fringe "I just wanna kill something" element, and if any serious revolutionists remain, they will opt for less outdoor tea-party-style action and more warm indoor and potentially productive constitutional-convention-style action.
There is a planned National General Assembly starting July 4th 2012 in Philadelphia. What do you think? https://sites.google.com/site/the99percentdeclaration/
