Only A Matter Of Time

If you take note of the following:
Occupy Wall Street has been hanging out in that square for weeks now.
They still don’t have any concrete goals. They have not articulated any, they have no one they are addressing any goals to.
Hence, they are no closer to achieving anything than when they started, and are not getting any closer.
New York weather will not stay tolerable for much longer, meaning there will inevitably be natural attrition among their ranks. (You won’t see hippy moms bringing their babies out there to hang out and listen to folk songs.)
It’s only a short leap to the conclusion that:
Sensing a ticking clock on their self-perceived political momentum, some among them will get increasingly desperate/frustrated and turn violent.
Stay tuned.
The goal is to justify endless quantities of rose-tinted media coverage, which provides a nice backdrop for demagogues to engage in class-warfare. They’ve done a fantastic job of it.
Why would they do something silly like issue concrete demands that will piss off the 53%? That’s a one-way ticket to Code Pink and Cindy Sheehan land, far far away from the front page.
