Great article on the growing strength of the Occupy movement:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...2198405/page2/

Also, I think this paragraph sums up the whole thing very well:

It’s true, as critics state, that the occupiers lack focus. What those critics haven’t grasped is that the initial absence of a cleanly packaged set of demands is precisely what marks Occupy Wall Street as a truly democratic movement. It’s all about the process. There is no CEO corporate-style hierarchy here, and no one told the occupiers in advance what they should say. What we are witnessing is a leaderless, horizontally organized, participatory democratic process in action
