Word of advice to the OWS movement: You have a golden opportunity. Declare victory now, immediately, and then stop the occupying and go on to stage two of GA meetings and Meetup planning sessions. If you don't declare victory and leave, your chaos, hypocrisy, and mayhem are about to bring a humiliating and public defeat while THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING. You will do more to make the progressive movement unpalatable to the masses than anything republicans could do. They are relishing every day of this occupy movement, as a serious blunder by the progressive-minded portion of the populace. As they say, "don't fight a man that's determined to commit suicide."
This article is a delicious read, and the comments are just as rich. It highlights the hypocrisy of some Occupy protestors, the challenges facing those trying to bring order to the chaos, and the realization that not everyone who likes to control others wears a three piece suit.
