It is odd that there aren't any clearly defined goals for the OWS movement. It seems like instead of explaining it people who are involved should just be like, "We're mad for a bunch of different reasons and we just want to collectively display our displeasure together."

That's what it seems like on the outside looking in. I keep trying to imagine other great movements in history and how they would've looked if there were no clearly defined goals. What if there were civil rights sit ins at segregated diners but when asked for their list of demands the protesters were like, "Oh it's not about racism. We're all here for different reasons."

Just seems like it would be an easier story to tell if it did have a focus but at the same time I doubt they can get everyone in this group to agree to any ONE thing.
