Just A Mom Protesting Wall Street - Imgur
Hmm people like this that sway my fence sitting butt over to the side of taking action rather then observe. My initial thoughts to the Occupy movement was, " Oh no here comes another quick spike of young political involvement. I wonder how long it will take for their parents to take back their allowance and for them to give up." Now as time has passed, organization becoming more existent, and accompanied with a population of people who are actually committing themselves to this cause with a background that holds significance I believe that this whole thing is carrying much more momentum.
Popular sovereignty is what the United States claims to support. The simple idea that the majority of people are more likely to be correct over the minority of people. That the combined knowledge votes in favor of progressing current society and the ideas they hold. Then if you replace human with money, but keep the popular sovereignty idea our current situation makes so much sense. The people with the most money decide what happens to everyone. Hmm high chance I am over simplifying this... But this is how I am translating this situation and how it came to be without much fuss... until now.
United the people stand, divided we crumble. This was something I saw in early Occupy movements. Too many people had different voices praising this or condemning that. It could have been 12 mini movements that happened to gather in one spot and yell the loudest. Now, from what I've heard, meetings are being more scheduled and focused, partys are dieing down (You cant liv in an area with constant party), and overall seriousness is being awakened.
I am going to have to visit, soon.
