Now that more Occupy people know what they are Occupying, I think it is a wonderful movement and I love their right to protest.
I also think it's important to note that every movement thinks that its movement is THE movement that people should be paying attention to and participating in. I am participating in other movements that I consider important voices for change; but they are more ignored because the dominant/majority has yet to declare it THE movement. Lest we be reminded what happened with some women's, workers', and racial and ethnic minoritities' rights movements prior to the dominant/majority saying "oh yeah...that's important to us...."
