The Occupy Movement

[Jason]

Regardless of who started it or what their motives were, what do you guys think should be the primary demands? Decentralized banking? Disabling banks' ability to print money out of thin air?

i'm bothered first and foremost that the "occupy movement" has a website.  it stinks of being co-opted by the powers that be.  the people are out there because there are underlying issues that need to be addressed.  there is no official list of demands that needs to be made. the movement is a symptom of a society that has digressed into a disgusting, ass-backwards society filled with greed, selfishness, ignorance, and whatever else. the movement is the beginning of a revolution because the people are fed up.  the powers that be will not willingly give up what they have, nor will they agree to demands unless it benefits them in some way.  nothing short of a violent revolution will solve our problems.  the people have to take back their country and their constitution by force.  if you think a peaceful resolution is the end of this, you are ignorant and naive.

I will argue that a peaceful revolution is possible
IF and when strategy meets strength..
amongst the Occupy ... So far there isn't.
Within Occupy the level of enthusiasm towards Spirituality or Self- Mastery is very low. 
But it is not impossible to envision what I know -- to spark into the minds of others.
There was a time when we didn't use words to share  ideas / thoughts/ needs,etc,
We used our thoughts and emotions.
We still have that ability if we choose to utilize it.

I will agree that Occupy carry a corporate structure that drives me up the wall
because it gives way for people within occupy to be a-holes to new comers..
Idk how that sparks unity and community ..! 
Goes to show how mind cant let go of systems yet.
