It really is going to be difficult to keep the message positive. Both the communist party and the Nazi party are supportive and been joining in. There has been some anti semitic stuff surfacing. In New York the homeless has also joined the encampment because of the hand outs. Some of these(homeless) guys have mental problems or drug problems. One teen has complained of being raped.
There is a lot there which could retract from the message. I also wonder how they see them accomplishing their goals. In the States nothing meaningful will get through congress. In Canada I can't see Harper responding to this kind of pressure.
