Class Discussion

After talking in class about Matt Taibbi's article my opinion on the subject wasn't really changed. I still don't know that much about OWS or quite understand it. I do, however, understand what Taibbi was saying in his article. I understand that these protesters don't need to explain exactly what they are protesting just yet and that they are just trying to get their opinions out there. However, I think people, like myself, would have a better time understanding what OWS is all about and probably be more inclined to support it. They can't just say we want change, that is way too broad of a statement. If they actually want change they have to take it slow and choose one small thing to change at a time. Also, they have to be patient. These people can't expect one set of protests that one time to change anything. All through out history, people that wanted change had to fight very hard to get what they wanted, they didn't expect it to be handed to them after one try. So yes, for now, the end of Taibbi's article will suffice, but i think he should have also added that these protesters are going to have to keep fighting for exactly what they want.
