The Occupy movement is as directionless as the human rights movement in the 1960s. But in time that did effect change. In Vancouver there is an element of people just there for a free meal and somewhere safe to stay, but if those people are helped out just a little the change has already started.

People please listen to ceri cj. He's very right
Also guys, its not about you changing the world. You do not represent ANYONE. You don't understand humanity. You live in a world that has clearly allowed you to think otherwise, which you aught to be very grateful for. Admit that you are humble and dumb and (SURPRISE) are not cut out for reinventing the way the world turns.
Please change yourself before your awful entitled morality completely stiffles the world. I HOPE ITS NOT TOO LATE

We're not talking about one person trying to represent lots of people, we're talking about everyone trying to represent themselves.
Also, just in case you didn't realise (i doubt it, lol), you're being very patronising.

More con$ervative rambling$ from anirog
"Mr. Prell is a strategist for the Tea Party Patriots, a grass-roots organization that advocates Tea Party goals of fiscal responsibility, free markets and constitutionally limited government. He’s the author of “Underdogma,” a critique of left-wing anti-Americanism, which includes a chapter on the Berkeley Free Speech movement of the 1960s, which may be the closest historical parallel to the Occupy movement.
“They claim to stand up on behalf of the ‘little guy’ (the 99 percent), while raising a fist of protest against the big, rich, greedy and powerful 1 percent,” he said of the Occupy movement. “The parallels between Occupy Wall Street and the Berkeley Free Speech Movement are too clear to ignore — right down to the babbling incoherence of the participants. The lesson from Berkeley in the 1960s and the protest movement they spawned is: it doesn’t matter that they don’t make sense. What matters is they are tapping into a gut-level instinct that is alive, or lying dormant, in almost every human being. And, when they unleash the power of standing up for the powerless against the powerful — David vs. Goliath — the repercussions can ripple throughout our society for decades.”
