We are now in what you might call the second phase of this movement, the war for hearts and minds. Our opponents have vast wealth that they can use to define us negatively through the media, and in many other ways.

So now we must reach out to Every American with the message that we are on their side and the 1% are not! Therefore, think over every action to make sure it supports that need. If at all possible, do nothing to interfere with the lives and livelyhoods of average Americans. If we are committed, and truely care about them, by showing solidarity for farmers, etc., we will win enough of the people to our side that we can truely call ourselves the 99%. Then, is the time to strike!

No let's continue blocking the subways and preventing middle class people from going home. That was such a great idea.

If you want the middle class to hate us it's a great idea.

You make a good point. OWS should choose their targets wisely.

That was the last revolution that never happened because people never got off their couches. Don't you get it, Americans don't care!

To JPMorgan: Man,you have one hell of a cynical vision! You think all there is to life is eat or be eaten. Maybe you didn't notice that people have created civilization, flawed though it may be. If you ran the world without opposition I can't imagine what a horror it would be! I read your post, and you sound just like Col. Kurtz, or Maybe Adolf Eicheman!

You! Yes, I've heard of you! I think you are one of the "non leaders" of this movement. I would step very carefully if I were you. You don't know what you're playing with here, so just shut the fuck up!

Go fuck yourself, Adolf.

You're problem is you just don't understand human nature. If I wasn't here there would be a thousand people ready to step into my shoes. It's just envy. And if you think you can get all those other drudges from Alabama or some shit-hole like that, who have so little self- relliance, imagination, or courage that they just have to trudge off to some job they hate, with their heads bowed down all day and say, "yes sir, No sir," to have the guts to rise up against their bosses and the 1%, than you are one arrogant, delluded motherfucker!

Like I said, Go fuck yourself, Adolf!

I could be wrong, but I doubt you'll buy a Toshiba product anytime soon. :)
