Moreover, OWS is discovering that it is by no means inured against the sort of political and economic problems that face all polities, utopian or not. A fistfight broke out yesterday on the testy northeastern side of the camp, when one protester fashioned and displayed a cardboard sign that read, “Food is for OWS only!” This, said some of those camped nearby, was “fascism.” “No, no,” came the rejoinder, “it’s only fair! We paid for it; it’s for us! You can’t just walk in and take our stuff!” And thus, in microcosm, the debate over welfare raised its head — as it always will.
Who ever said their goal was to create a utopian society? I just thought they wanted to bring attention to the need to get big money out of elections, and put some common sense regs back in the financial industry.

No, most of them are concerned with wealth and income disparities than they are to cronyism.
The downfall of OWS is the lack of a cohessive message. Ask any two protestors why they are there and you get different unrelated reasons. There is no clear message.

Yes - which is in a way the same thing. Obama and Pelosi were all for the big bailouts of the banks and CEO's. Obama has by far more campaign millions because he's been bought out by the corrupt.
The problem with the OWS is that they have their president in the White House and the pro-globalist Congress, so they didn't protest in Washington DC. They have some feeling something is wrong but they have no clue what it is.

I don't see how Obama is their guy--he's just as bad as the rest of them, and I haven't seen any pro Obama campaigning coming out of it from more than individuals.

Then why aren't they protesting Obama, protesting at the White House, protesting NAFTA, globalism, the Pelosi bailouts, massive immigration, and all that is leading to the high unemployment and trillions of new debt?
