Simple Q:

This isn't terribly big news. But it does show that an occupation of space can lead to a positive result.

To be fair, I felt occupation was a silly tactic back in early September 2011. I've come around sense then.

Have you? Does this article mean anything to you? Does it make you think that maybe occupying spaces is a tactic that gets results?

They probably already were. There's nothing to suggest they weren't, after all - one can hear what plenty of people have to say and dismiss it without comment.

No, Jeff. They weren't.

Facts not in evidence, etc.

Then please, by all means, educate us.

Oh, I have. You assume I need to take a biased blog post as gospel.
