    Uh, his blogging reminds me of Seinfeld...a show about nothing. Will, this dog (OWS)won't hunt, time to find something relevent to blog about, nobody cares about these people or has figured out their message (including them).

    You think this is a historic movement that's going to galvanize America against the powerful banks and corporations and change theses entities so they put people above profits. I'd say your fooled enough.

    Just because someone puts "You Should Buy This Song" in a video, doesn't mean they are allowed to use the song for free. my bet is the song, and many of the images, are completely unlicensed.

    I wonder if Will ran to Spensers , and bought some tie dye with his debit card. All the photos of the Tea Party must've been shown when I was blinking. I know they would never exclude them

    Lets see, big banks - Wont get fooled again. check, except OWS Oakland put money in Wells Fargo. I guess the big banks dont count. Wont submit to big corporations, check except OWS NYC has daily meetings at Mc Donalds, Wont get fooled again on that one. "We are for the rights of all people", as more civil voilence occurs at OWS (any city) than the rest of the city. We wont get fooled again.

    "they decide and the shotgun sings the song" Are we really going to get to shotguns? Probably as the are still camping out in center city, now illegally.

    "Bunch of B.S."- more of the same foolish gibberish with no real cause or reason for the idiotic behavior. One thing though: this election is not going to be about "inequality" but "record"...that of the President! Quoting Schumer tells you all you need to know about "Bunch of B.S.'s" little buddy. Most people are in the 54% of taxpayers and they know that. 99% is a number that no real hard working person aka VOTER will ever be able to relate to. Especially after watching those "Occupeers" in action. "Hope and Change" are long gone, in fact the Republicans should pick that up...it has never been more true or needed!!!

    All you sunshine patriots make me want to puke. Keep carrying the water for th 1%. You'll wrap yourselves in Old Glory and squeeze you bibles and call yourselves good Americans. What a crock you are. Anything good in this country has sprouted from protest and revolution and every time regressives like this lot scream and whine. Anyone who says OWS don't know what they want are just not paying attention or are willfully ignorant. I'm going with the latter.

    I would rather wrap myself in old glory and my bible than wrap myself in what these protestors are wallowing in. People have seen through this communist movement that would never go after Obama. People can be unhappy and not act like a bunch of schoolchildren pouting until they get their way. OWS has cost tax payers money and jobs because of their filth and made the nation look foolish. Everyone knows the country has problems, but these people are not helping anything improve in any way, shape or form. Good riddance.

    "Anyone who says OWS don't know what they want are just not paying attention or are willfully ignorant." I guess this is why their committee had meeting after meeting to decide IF they should even issue demands.

    "Anything good in this country has sprouted from protest and revolution" If you leave out vaccinations, technology advancements, and so on and so forth.

    If the 1% are about greed, than the OWS crowd are about envy and sloth. They are focused only on knocking down the 1%, and not about raising the 99%. If they were truly concerned about others, they'd performing positive works, not negative ones.
