[quote=briansd1][quote=svelte][quote=sdduuuude]I think it will die on the vine as well – simply because there is nothing to actually do. I support their right to protest and I don’t hate their list of demands, but I just don’t think it will accomplish anything tangible.

Agree with that. Plus when the cold weather hits, the protesters will be outta there!!![/quote]
I agree that when the weather gets cold, the protesters will thin out.
But if the Occupy movement awakens American civic conscience and gets people who don’t normally vote to the polls, then that would be a great achievement in democracy building.
I hope that the Occupy movement grows in California and in warm weather states.

Another thing that may happen: the participants may use the cold wet winter months to regroup and show up in the spring better organized with stated goals and demands. Heading into the election season, that is a very real possibility.
