So many of our citizens are quick to dismiss the political process established in our Constitution as ineffective. However, that process (or system, if you prefer) is a good one when practiced by an informed electorate. Unfortunately, we (the U.S. electorate) are largely : (1) knowingly and willfully ignorant of our system of government, (2) willfully ignorant or dismissive of issues that affect us on a daily basis, (3) unwilling to spend a few moments per day/week/ etc. informing ourselves about the aforementioned (we say we are too busy but how many waste time watching absolutely moronic TV programs, playing equally inane video games or indulging in the narcissism inherent in mush of the social media phenomenon). If folks would learn about the system, learn about the issues, learn about candidates for office and take the time to vote, we would see real change! However, it is so easy to check out of the system and complain about how corrupted it is. It seems to me that much of the OWS crowd (or certainly the vocal ones) are of the ilk who have abdicated their responsibilities of citizen in our great republic. I am also appalled by the blatant hypocrisy of the OWS crowd (decrying the privilege of the 1% while partaking in many f the facets of that privilege and relying on financial support from members of the 1% who only want to destroy this nation for their own gain).
OWS are crackpots sitting in the park.
Americans ignore the insanity and incompetence of the government

Let's begin with the budget and the squandering of trillions of dollars on more and more weapons. Only raving maniacs would create the American foreign policy and defense policy. Americans do it with a straight face as if they were sophisticated and educated people.
The economists and bankers in America have created policies that allow and promote wild gambling with derivatives that they claim are complex as if they worked. They worked to destroy the banking system and put 50,000,000 Americans out of work with the globalization policy that is nothing more than simple slavery of Chinese workers. That slavery is hidden behind the bogus claim that China's currency is too strong. If China allowed its currency to rise in value to the dollar, the US debt they own $1.137 trillion (the same as it was in August 2010) would be paid back with half of what they loaned.
The Chinese government isn't stupid. They aren't going to take half of what they loaned. The American people are completely uninformed nitwits who have no clue that the government they believe can't be voted out of office with a 3rd party, would be gone if they heard what SCREWED AGAIN is trying to publish for them.
The ignorance and incompetence of the American government is displayed by the liars that divert attention to 9/11 every day. The American people refuse to hear about and understand the evidence that proves clearly the 9/11 was a direct attack by Bush who was warned officially more than 40 times and chose to use the Al-Qaeda attack as a false flag for the incidents revealed by SCREWED AGAIN.
You are incorrect in your assesment. This movement will create awareness that will be evident at the ballot box. No one wants to destroy this nation, we are working to make it better.
In the last century, many people were denied the right to vote, so they used other means to fight for that right.
In this century, we have the right to vote, but our elections are rigged in favor of the two party system and their financial backers. So we are using protest to fight for a less corrupt election process.
I believe YOUR intentions are well-guided and considerate of the greatest good for the greatest numbers. I've had and do have a strong sense, as well as continuing displays of other kinds of intentions in the OWS.When you say "no one wants to destroy this nation", you are making a statement which is impossible to know, in the first place. Secondly, I and many others have seen and heard the expressed intentions of, not simply outliers, but those in the driving force of the group, clearly desiring destruction of the ability of current capitalism-as-it-is to function, and crippling of institutions that would cause damage to the overall well-being that would NEVER be remedied within ANY of our lifetimes.
