It seems to me OWS is destined to failure since none of the demand laced screeds I've read seem to appreciate that whatever they might temporarily gain will almost certainly be eroded later through lobbiest influence.
It is a waste of time to gripe about politicians not reflecting the voter's wishes when our electoral system is deliberately rigged to dilute the influence of the highest population density states for Senatorial elections, aggravated by the presidential electoral system.
Throw in the presidential primary nonsense where conservative states can essentially filter out moderate candidates before the Nation gets to vote on them.
Compared to these issues, current OWS demands are simply chasing ghosts.
