I believe we can find common ground on some issues, however, there is one issue which I think we will be in disagreement upon and that is the government wheel. The government wheel does not need to be re-invented. I also believe the government is not a solution to all our problems.
In fact, in my lifetime, I have been the person who has been the solution to my problems. The members of OWS at the park have relied on family members, friends and people that are concerned to help them out. However, they need to look into the mirror and take personal responsibility for themselves. The government will never be a solution to all our problems.
The gov is corrupt, every politician corrupt, run by corporate international interest, everyone know this already. Both the red and the blue are just as dirty. The gov no longer represents the will of the people. Fix our broken Democracy, not re-invent it: http://occupywallst.org/forum/i-demand-informed-direct-democracy-online-whos-wit/
no one is talking about reinventing gov, except for you, please stop.
The people in govern cannot solve problems and never have. Name one who has helped with a situation that solved a problem? I'm sorry to say but their main purpose is to keep the current institutions in place. To create a new social system we will have to leave the current dinosaurs-ism gov to the past. The whole process of political legislature is a huge waist of time. We cannot look to these people no longer but within ourselves. We are the solution.
100% troll, don't give this guy another bump
Hold it Richard. Why am I troll? Because I present a "second voice" and my own opinion which may or may not closely conform with the opinion of OWS? We can agree on some things, but there are other things we cannot agree upon. I ask that you listen to my opinion, I will listen to yours and then we can discuss the two sides if you like and come to a consensus.
no, because your issue begins to go off course when you start insulting those exercising their 1st.
The government should never be looked at to solve problems considering they make twice as many as they solve.
