It's only a matter of time before the Patriot Act kicks in, calling these peaceful protestors terrorists. The violent anarchists in Rome (and elsewhere) infiltrating the occupation are really doing in OWS.
Peaceful doesn't attack the police and hurt other people's businesses in the general area.
They are butchering little ma and pa shops that normally can make a living.
It's going to soon get out of hand enough to where they will have to be dealt with IMO.
But those that can do it won't. They are the very people benefiting from those special interests and loosened financial regs.
Congress is NOT going to bite the hand that feeds them.
There are but a handful in Congress that are true to the US but that's not enough.
If every congressman or Senator running next fall in BOTH parties had a candidate running against him that pledged to do it, you might be surprised. Look what the tea party did in 2010. This is way more people--and you're right, it's going to get much bigger--and way more pressure. The one thing money can't stand up to are masses and masses of people demanding something. Campaign ads are only really effective if people are making decisions from their couch on candidates. If a huge chunk of Amercians are making decisions with "pitchforks" in their hands from the street, it's a whole different show.
If this becomes the biggest campaign issue of the next year--and people promise to vote out the people who don't work to pass something now--that changes the perspective of Congress a little.
It's not quite falling apart yet..but I do see some strings unraveling as the young and disillusioned get caught up in these protests. When you have nothing to lose, you lose it.
From listening to these protestors it would appear that many of the ones interviewed are also financially illiterate as well as having no historical perspective from which to measure.
On the brighter side it would seem that Britains may be waking up and demanding their sovereignty back from the EU. The whole Fascism over Socialism governing structure of the EU is an abismal failure and was ill conceived at the start.

I'm waiting for Germany to throw in the towel and go it alone.
The German people are gettng fed up with Germany having to pony up for the other failed countries.
It reflects the enormous rage that people in this country feel towards the Republican party...you can bet it spells doom for the GOP in 2012.
It appears to be a movement of far greater intensity to that of the tea party movement, giving you a prelude to the problems the tea party and GOP in Congress face, as well as every GOP candidate across this nation.
Face it, Pubs. Your regressive obstructionist tactics on the back of your Bush failures have BACKFIRED.
