So, since OWS is leaderless, some groups will invariably do things others do not....

like making demands. Demands are good, I think, for a movement. It's a target. And the target provides direction.

So, what direction do some OWS groups go in?
What are their demands?




I imagine this is a nearly universal demand among the Occupy movement.

Can we agree that a cuts only budget isn't acceptable?
No, of course not, some of you think taxes are slavery! Wait, I haven't seen Steve_P here in awhile. Maybe y'all don't think it's slavery. But I bet least one of y'all would disagree with a cuts only budget being unacceptable.

Can we agree we need new revenue? close loopholes? create jobs? (i do hope we all agree on jobs)

In a way this reminds me of the Tea party and their stated reason to take to the streets: the GOP not doing what they were supposed to do and expending government under Bush. Makes sense. When the party doesn't serve is function, it needs to be pushed from bottom up.

Well you could say that. ;-)
And then you could go and criticize people for using snark. Or something.

Smokers and cigarettes, I get it.

The question is how big the slice is.

I know the answer for myself, but I'm just one person and nothing more.

Offtopic: I like eating slowly, cos the pleasure is longer this way. So people would often tell me "You eat too much". But I don't eat too much, I just eat too slowly. That's people and perception for ya. Food for thought.

Oh, I'm hungry now...
