Sometime ago 'Bill Duke' from Florida & a regular poster on ICH ( http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/ ) wrote a 'cris de coeur' which moved me to such an extent that I repeat it here verbatim due to it's relevance to all things 'Occupy' :
1 )"None of us will ever make a damn bit of difference in this struggle UNTIL we are able to put our egos aside and unite for a common cause.....the common cause being the survival of this earth, a better quality of life and survival of the species.
2) "If we look for perfection in the methods, nothing will happen. If we look for the ideal time and situation, nothing will happen. If we think we can affect revolution without consequence, nothing will happen. If we look for the best opportunity, we will miss 'NOW'.
3) "When we put ourselves, our egos, on the sidelines and unite in peace and intention, we can strangle the machine. We do not need more ideas or 'the right time' ;
"WE NEED ... CONVICTION, COURAGE and PERSISTENCE."

Thank you for posting this. It is nice to know that others have put to words the way I feel.
As Gandhi promised, they are fighting us. Corporations are afraid. They are sending paid people here to disrupt these boards.
Stick to the message. Be civil. Argue. Win.
@ ACC : "Sláinte" mate !
Gandhi said: "Healthy discontent is the prelude to progress" & "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Millions of the 99%, right across THIS GOOD EARTH just do NOT buy into "The KAPUTalist CONstruct" any more - just as predicted by Karl Marx ( http://www.marxists.org/ ).
Though "Spectacle & Propaganda" both have their part to play in The 99% Struggle, some theory { http://www.internationalgramscisociety.org/ } won't go amiss either - because Theory & Ideas Matter ...
Finally please reflect upon an excellent animation & critique by David Harvey, "Crisis of Capitalism: Is it time to look beyond Capitalism to a New Social Order?", [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOP2V_np2c0 ] & enjoy!
