i was thinking substantial idea as one that the media/govt sees and likes. one that has the potential to work for the economy. and when i said a group making noise, i meant it in a negative way even it IS what the group is in essence.
and the new image of OWS, not really surprised. i think its common for peaceful groups to attract unruly people which then escalates to violence. it is unfortunate that it happened here too that what started as a meeting place for reform now has a picture of violence attached to it.
based on the reports i read this morning, they seem to be losing media support. guliani said he would of closed them down from day 1, and IIRC wasnt a councilman or s/o arrested there? and even their plan to cripple wall street with tens of thousands of protesters and block the bridge and disrupt subways….. didnt work. how many ppl showed up for the protest? if they come up with an idea that is workable, it might help them regain some positive media coverage.
as a side note, besides ron paul, any other politicians support them?
