What is the issue? The general 'shit is fucked up' sentiment? I think there are a lot of lists of issues out there from various OWS groups but they are all different and constantly changing?

Clearly, I'm not a protester but how do you know when you have influenced change and when do you pack up your things and go home? Just when 'shit is no longer fucked up'?

Of course the 'movement' is going to draw a large interest when the 'what are we protesting' is really every single participants individual gripes and complaints coupled with well meaning ideas. Obviously however, this isn't reasonable or scalable. Couple this with pages and pages of rants and complains and people using terminology like 'overthrow' 'restart' etc. and I have to ask... what is the end game here? What are you actually hoping to achieve?

Is it too much to expect a movement that has received considerable national media attention and are occupying the nations parks, streets and bridges to solidify on what they are trying to actually accomplish more than just 'fix shit'?
