I understand the desire (the desperate desire) to have some kind of cherished leader, an organization as well as something that has been referred to as "message control".

If...IF... some charismatic leader emerges or (worse) some sort of "super" committee "takes control" of OWS... I'm not exactly sure that would be a good thing.

Our problem... my fellow 99%-ers... is precisely That we have been "sitting back", "hoping" for other people (messiahs like Obama?) to solve Our problems for us.

The power (potential power) of OWS is that "we" aren't expecting anymore the answers to come from politicians.

Thus... yes, there will be no "control" of OWS. "We" need to act together, which will mean lots of incoherence along the way... but we can at least begin the journey and seems like we have.

Since it seems so nettlesome to you, perhaps we should consider turning to them for a bit of advice . . . name recognition, market analysis and strategy, public polling on the issues . . .

after all, the 99 is a diverse group of individuals, a complex demographic . . .

and I do so enjoy seeing you squirm . . .

I don't believe adbustes ever had "control" of OWS! They were instrumental in us getting out there, but that's about it--we took it from there. Nobody controls OWS, WE control OWS!

Yeah I know for some people with the sheep mentality, it might be a difficult concept to comprehend, but it's true. We actually can think on our own and do it rather well! You ought to try it sometime, it doesn't hurt! :-) Peace

I've read 100s of posts here and I see how well the OWS crowd "thinks". They think they represent the 99% when in reality, they represent the top 1% of crazy and lazy people.
