You can contribute to the problem, or contribute to the solution. In my opinion, the recent "occupy" movement does nothing to contribute to a solution. There's no obvious focus, no process by which they are pursuing effective change, and they are not working within an established framework to accomplish anything. From where I stand, they simply create a wake of garbage and unnecessary local expense wherever they go...that's contributing to the problem. I'd rather see the already understaffed law enforcement agencies chasing bad guys instead of wasting precious resources on a disorganized group of protesters, who really don't seem to be focused on what they're protesting.

The recent Occupy Wallstreet movement probably started with a good idea and some intent to change things for the better. However, they lacked focus, and more importantly have you looked at them recently-- they are creating more trash than change. We have a government that has mastered that art, so we don't need a bunch of people camping in the street doing the same. We need a focused group of individuals with the resolve to take a stand and support a solution. The easy ways are behind us and the solution will probably include sacrifices for each of us, but if you are like me, I have two young boys, then you want their lives to have a chance. We all have a reason to become part of this solution, ourselves, our children, or simply making a better future for the country. It's time time to do something, say something, and be a part of something that matters. Camping in front of a bank doesn't change anything--has it impacted the operation of the bank, No. We need an effort that will produce a result, a positive, lasting change the will turn this ship around. Today, consider becoming part of this change.
