I had high hopes that Occupy would morph into something worthwhile, but the more I talked to the Occupiers here, the less hope I had. Their objective seemed to be disruption without comprehension or plan. They mouthed the slogans, but when asked to describe what the slogans meant to them, they couldn't say. Almost all of them were drifters, focused on a safe place to sleep for the night, how to score their next smoke, where they could find a shower and a free meal...and a little attention for causing a disturbance. I felt like I was talking to some devolved species of 1980s Dead Head groupies.
There may be a core group who have ideas and coherent plans, but they're not going to get anywhere with this "non-organizational" non-structure.
