You seem like a smart guy, although I think your focus on macro concepts without really considering any of the myriad of underlying issues is a major problem, so I really don't understand why you'd align yourself with this group of twits. I mean these are people who were flummoxed by the concept of the legal bar. There are intelligent people in the occupy movement with good ideas, some who even have action plans, but none of them were camped out at olympic plaza.

That's what I'm wondering as well. The initial "all inclusive, leaderless" idea has really created a space where the loudest & most visible voices become the de facto spokespersons & leaders for the group.
Like it or not the fringe element & campers have become the message here in Calgary. You're only doing a diservice to yourself & your convictions by brushing it aside as "I don't agree with the actions, but I support the group", but doing this you're allowing the campers to speak for you.
Yes you write on the blog, but it's not the blog that's getting the attention. It's the video of Sarah being arrested, or the screenshots of facebook with people accusing Jane & Cory of fabricating a judges decision.
There is a difference between making noise and being heard.
