A really interesting commentary on the "demands" of the OWS crowd. It applies more to the New York situation, but its pertinent when someone here says that the Olympic Plaza people are foolish, but the Wall Street protestors make some good points.

I've said that the OWS at its heart originally had some real reasons to be out there if they were protesting for harder regulation of the American Banking system to reflect for example what we had here.
But for the most part the Occupy Movement died a few weeks ago and were taken over by the lunatic fringe.
Its funny, but the Occupy Vancouver demands and Occupy Toronto demands which were released on facebook were similar in their stupidity and lack of awareness of economic factors, so to state that the Occupy movements were somehow leaderless combines is kinda stupid when the demands between the American and Canadian occupy movements were remarkably similar.
I would like to note that I was glad to read that subsidized housing was found for the occupyer's in Princess Island Park despite the best efforts of the Olympic Plaza Occupy'ers best efforts to scuttle it.
