Please refrain from copy and pasting messages over and over and over, or you will be removed from the forum. We all have input to make so let's keep this at a discussion and not a text block of commercials. Here are some helpful guidelines for good discussion and debate recommended by one of our members:
- * Stay on topic
- * Be clear
- * Build upon your points and address those of other people
- * Refrain from making assumptions about others' unstated views
- * If you disagree with somebody, do so politely
- * Clarify your terms and seek to understand others' (but avoid semantic derails)
Note: The opinions expressed by the moderators and members of this discussion board do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Occupy Together or Occupy Wall St. In the spirit of free information, open discussion, and the freedom of expression, members are able to speak about issues relating and directly pertaining to the Occupy movement. You will be banned for hate speech or intentional misinformation and please refrain from any violent rhetoric; this is a peaceful movement. Thank you.

“Occupy” has been and always will be judged by its actions, whatever the actions, wherever the actions, whether destructive, ineffectual, anarchist, or otherwise.
Such potential exists for its sentiments and its energies: for focused political action, for focused legislative actions, for focused boycotting actions, for focused scrutiny and exposure of politicians, corporations.
But, as of today, nothing concrete yet, nothing defined, nothing submitted for reforms, nothing implemented yet, no effective pressure on government yet, no real threat to the powers-that-be.
Tis an elementary rule of nature: define yourself, or be defined.
It is way overdue for “Occupy” to evolve, from social protestations and social disruption to
Citizen Government and coordinated social action.
How? I submit this: by using the rights we have:
a) to “Petition Government for the redress of grievances”, and
b) to start boycotting campaigns of the true powers-that-be, the backroom interests
