I think that as this continues and more everyday citizens start either expressing their discontent or their support of this movement to their local/national politicians, the more impact we may start seeing this movement making in the areas where impacts need to be made. It can only be 'ignored' for so long. Either that, or like in Calgary, the weather may start taking care of the so called 'problem' for some of the northern most cities in the US.

One thing is for sure though, for me, is I am absolutely fascinated with the whole thing. I don't agree with everything being discussed but still it is captivating to follow. I sat down and watched about 4 hours of that UStream feed the other night and enjoyed seeing the little interviews that Tim did with every kind of person, from supporters, to policemen, to anarchists who were upset with him. It's interesting to see the different walks of life he comes across and their input on the whole event.

A protest/march and a two month take over are very different things. Residents are dealing with people literally ####ting in their communities.
