seems that everything is becoming more of a passivity than an urgent calling to me does that mean that OWS has lost it's Attention Span?

If OWS adopted this as an additional statement it would be game on. This document is spreading like wildfire and was given to them as a gift. Let's hope they accept it.

Things ebb and flow. I'm afraid the passivity will not hold up long against the forces arrayed against us. I'm glad you brought this up. I have had a nagging fear that there might be plans in the works for some really viscious crackdown somewhere. I am thinking now of something like Amritsar. We must fully understand that the sociopaths determined to enslave the world really have no qualms at killing. I don't say this to promote fear, but caution. If confronted by any sudden unexplained tactics by law enforcement, swat teams, etc., I think people must take steps to preserve themselves. Discression often is the better part of valor. The whole battle lies in perserverance. Those who just want the good life tire quickly of confrontation, and bit by bit relinquish the upper hand. They would like to crush the movement suddenly, and unequivically on some false pretext. That would be a warning sign as well, provoked, or staged behavior liable to spark a crackdown.

well you see how they enforce the police by harming the OWS protestors They would'nt have any regard for us either if it gets down to the nitty gritty

I agree. Why don't you guys start some serious trouble and stir things up to kick start the movement again. Maybe Storm the NBC broadcast booth at the Macy's parade. Shake things up

Did it ever have and attention span (no caps)? As far as I can tell the whole point is to be about as much as possible.

Worse may be yet to come. It has been out of concern that I have advocated a regrouping and a focus on coalition building for awhile. Many have been determined to people the occupied settlements, and I greatly respect that courage. I merely advocate caution, and planning for suspicious changes on the part of the behavior of the authorities. On a more positive note, watch "Yes sir, No sir," if that's the correct title. It is about the Vietman Veterans and the decision not to call them in to the 68 Democratic convention, because the authorities felt they didn't know whose side they would actually take.
