I guess technically I was at the one in Chicago. Politicians don't let their career and responsibilities get in the way of campaigning though so... why should the people?
I would rather see people trying to do something about the things they are angry about than just sitting back and being apathetic. These folks seem to believe their actions will effect change. I think, as a society, we tend to let things happen to us and then get angry and complain about it. They are trying to do something. I admire that.
What I find sort of ironic is how similar their start is to the tea party, which originally said it would have no leader or spokesperson. It will be interesting to see where this goes. Will there be Occupy candidates eventually? We'll see.
