Occupy D.C.

I guess these people are still going at it but oddly I have not heard much about it either on the news or web until I went searching for it. I wonder whats up, are the politics taken over the news for the occupy movement and why is this not being brought up in the debates??

In my opinion, it has become non-newsworthy except for the "get a job/take a shower" jokes. If they had something central to say, we'd listen but until then........

It's winter, they're miserable, and reporters would rather cover something indoors...

Occupy is sooooo October.

If you talk to one of them, they will insist that they have a clear agenda, that they have made a difference, and that they are determined to keep at it until things change. They also can't figure out why they aren't getting any media coverage, and why when covered, they are cast in such a negative light.

Unfortunately, a lot of their "agenda" comes under the relm of corporate personhood, and the US Supreme Court is not usually influenced by people sitting around in tents.

I forget who actually said this, but I remember the quote: Criticism without suggestion for improvement is worthless.

I think this is what actually applies here. These people were newsworthy because they garnered a large folowing. But now it seems the are being led nowhere but rather moving in circles without definition. This makes them boring.
