    Evolution In Mind And Spirit: Is Answer : Not revolution/ protesting without a clear consensus on direction; Occupy hasn't learned anything from history; from what I can see; and lacks the leadership to succeed, I am very sorry to say. There is a scripture that states "Be You Wise As Serpents; But Innocent As Doves! And agian; in their generation the children of darkness, are wiser than the children of light. Those Who Believe In Doing Unto Others; As You Would Have Them Do Unto You" : are ignorant of the "clever depravity" of those who believe in "dog eat dog" society; and therefore doomed to be victums of every scheme they devise!

    Well Evolution101 , what do you think Occupy should learn from history? I agree with you on that point, I suggest Occupy should study history of Revolutions and Protest to the fullest point.
    where would you suggest Occupy would find a leader or leadership? I think Occupy does lack leadership but it has a reason. The people have lived under corruption for so long that the slightest chance of a leader would scare them. I understand why that may be, there are many corrupt people on earth and a Martin Luther King or Ghandi is as rare as a four leave clover in this world.

    Is is hard to find a leader who would not take advantage of his/her role and become a slave to corruption. I remember someone quoted "Absolute power will lead to corruption" (I don't know if that is word for word but I think it fits Occupy's reasons for leadership very well.

    Each and Every Person Needs Too Step Up And Be A Leader : Haven't you heard that ignorance of the Law is no excuse. Martin Luther King; and Ghandi are dead : But Jesus The CHRIST ; Is Greater Than Both Of Them; And He Lives ! History is full of failed revolution examples; But Their Is A "Successful Spiritual Evolution" : Which Is Wating For A Group Of People Who Care As Much About Others, As They Care About Themselves Too Enact!" Leadership Is Not A person"; When You Understand What Leadership Is; You Will Not Be fooled by every fake who promises you what you want to hear. If you don't want the Truth; then you won't recognize It; Or Leadership, When It's Standing In Front of you. Willingness Too Suffer, And Sacrifice For Others Is Leadership. Spokespersons/representatives are public servants. The Democratic Will, Of Equal Individuals, In Voluntary Association/Union: Is The Only Leader Of A Free People!
