Occupy reminds me of WWII France or the West bank
Reshape your perception. That's what the whole thing is about. At least in one sense. This isn't about a more powerful force oppressing a weaker one. It's about the majority (who is ironically powerless) standing up to the powers that pervade all.
Wall Street is plenty liberated. Liberate them much more and they'll be selling us cardboard boxes (read: starter homes) at a grand a pop.
"funny" only because my platform is to totally redesign the organizational chart of our government, to make it functional, efficient and effective. I think if/when we succeeded it would be like the scene from the end of Wizard of Oz, where Dorothy has killed the wicked witch and then is scared all the guards are going to kill her, and then they celebrate and sing "ding, dong the witch is dead..."
I believe our politicians would feel "liberated" from their broken and dysfunctional system, post-revolution
"The system is broken and dysfunctional...and everyone knows that." ~ Senator Tom Udall, USA Today 9/29/2011
Do you not think Senator Udall would hail a change to a functional system? But of course the big question for all in politics - would you hail a change to a new system of government that you felt was best for "We the People" even if it meant you losing YOUR job?

At this early stage, "Occupy Wall Street" sounds just right to me. But in time, a better name will appear. IMO, It MUST focus on TRUE PATRIOTISM, so as to bring together all sincere Americans.
I myself like the name " N E W A M E R I C A ". What do others think?
what if they stayed until the troops came home?
What's your point?
the troops are occupying Iraq
the troop are occupying Afghanistan
And?
It creates a resolution and offers a time to go home
I don't get your drift.
Would you mind writing a short paragraph to explain WHO, WHAT and WHEN? Thanks!
