Re OWS, remember in he 60's we always had the crazies that went too far. And the MSM would always highlight them e.g. the chicago 7 or SDS. But the thesis of the movement that you and I understood was the simple sophistication of new realizations. That is the reason UC Berkely was the head quarters. Those kids were on the forefront of understanding a new way of existing. I used to explain to people, there were two populations of hippies. Those who had the guts and insight to reject a stultified society of myth and script, with all its bigoted ideas, racism, sexism and all the other isms' and those who society rejected and were just sort of hangers on. This new OWS may fill the void left by the destruction of unions by the neo cons. And yes, I want to Obama start to channel FDR.
