I'm really unsure how to break the news to them, but a LOT of Americans have had their fill of the #OWS protestors. While I don't condone the roughness of police during the expulsion of protestors from public parks, I think that the fact that people living around, or traveling through, these parks appreciate their absence is very telling. The American people may agree that something should be done, but obnoxious finger wiggling and endless parroting of every word the speaker says is simply not endearing.
Another gripe of mine is that some of these people have the gall to compare themselves to the civil rights movement of the 1960's. They're really not that bad off, many of them show up with laptops, iPads, and smartphones to be "warriors" against injustice.
My point, and plea to occupiers: America would rather find a less hippie, less smelly, more sanitary way to promote change. Please go home and have a shower.
