If there was a wrong way to do something it has been done. Can you imagine in Okla. having the only info on the table "hemp" "socialism" and "anonymous" ??? The loudest of this group wants war, no one knows how much money there is, NOTHING is organized or understandable. This group is snotty & ignoring of suggestions-- except for the professional "compassion" women who speak so slowly and softly. The most important tent is the "compassion" tent. It's a bad bad joke and it has destroyed the Occupy completely.
Sadly a similar thing is happening in Milwaukee, WI. It started out strong and was hijacked by the private interests of a small group of people. As a result the group is now impotent, irrelevant, and virtually invisible. I would characterize the flavor of the group much the same as Oklahoma City---communication is totally ineffective, no one has the vaguest notion of how Parliamentary Procedure works, and there is constant drama & bickering. Snotty doesn't even begin to describe it. This is terribly disappointing to those of us who were drawn to this movement to generate change and actually make a difference in our communities. What a shame.
