I agree we need to remove political and economic corruption from this country, but the occupy name bothers me. It remines me of occupied france during world war ii. Totalirian dictatorships occupy things. I prefer to think Im part of the liberate movement. Liberate Wallstreet from corruption. Liberate the 99.

well I certainly dont think deliberate fits the bill...BUT check out this article which puts truth to your words...but looks at the Occuation as stage 1...as we are headed to Liberation http://www.newclearvision.com/2011/10/19/from-occupation-to-liberation/

I kind of like Deliberate. (To think about or discuss issues and decisions carefully) The Deliberate 99%. :)

Yes I think deliberate has a a positive meaning. There are many better choices.
