And it seems you couldn't ever be bothered to read it: http://www.nycga.net/resources/principles-of-solidarity/

People can see for themselves the movement continues. Watch events and assemblies live on livestream and ustream. Find recent events on YouTube, read discussions on facebook, more. There is constant activity. There is global solidarity, including global conferencing and resource sharing. The movement grows.

Local events have been non-stop. Regional events continue. Global events will increase.

Google up some live streams on May 1st.
Don't read the news for they are purposefully full of shit.

And whatever you see and read, understand that you witness just one view into one moment of time, at one location and for one small population at a time. At Occupy events you will find old and young. Wealthy and poor. Anarchists and Constitutionalists. Conservatives and Liberals. etc etc.

We are diverse. We hold many views and ideologies. At large the only thing we share in common, is a motivation for change. One guys recipe for change is not my change. I've my own. We find commonality where we can. Where it is absent, there is tolerance and respect. Course we are human. And being diverse there will be standouts. Judging the whole base on the standouts is an exercise for fools and propagandists.

It's like looking at the population attending a sporting event. They have in common only the game. It would be inaccurate to judge the crowd based on some standout individuals. Same with Occupy. Same with the Tea Party. For a variety of reason the Tea Party is not for me. And there are a few reasons they concern me. But when I look past the shell of their collective, I see that there exists people of diverse thought. I've listened to enough of them to find commonalities with some. And just like with Occupy, there are individuals I both agree and disagree with. Share the commonalities, have tolerance and respect for the differences.

Newsflash! Cable news stations have opinionated guests! Story at 11.

Meh. It's one guest's opinion on the matter, and he sort of contradicts himself in the process by saying the movement is faltering and then later explaining how Occupy's 'message' is going to be paralleled as one of the pillars of President Obama's reelection campaign.

There's been alot of creativity and variety over these last seven months.

Well, I'm done studying so it doesn't affect me directly, but I don't think I would have brought my education as far as I did if I had expected to get out of university with a 100k debt in my late twenties.

So, I can definitely empathize with current and future students.

If people find that education costs too much, they should really look at revamping the whole school system (which is abysmal) rather than taking it out on the students.

As far as priorities go, education is near the top of the list.

I'd slash a bunch of things before slashing education.

The fun thing about the Internet is that you can bump into anyone... an economist, a philosopher, an environmentalist, etc, not to mention people hailing from all over.

It doesn't beat being well traveled, but it can be a real eye opener regardless.

I've had decent discussions about politics with some people in this forum and enjoyed reading some people's input, even those that I disagree with.

I wouldn't consider myself enough of a connaisseur to hold high end political debates, but I've read a few books and I'm sure many of the debates I've participated in rank way higher than a lot of the pettiness that goes in the House of Commons.

At the very least, people who debate politics in here aren't trying to get elected (or remain in office) so the debate rarely starts from a personal place ;).

Yeah, some of it will be garbage, but it's as fine an opportunity as any to increase the thickness of your skin.
