There is a movement happening in this country that the media pundits feel is laking focus or a singular defined purpose. I ask you, How can it? 


The profound obstacles that face the millions of unemployed, newly graduated, underemployed, underprivileged, uninsured and undereducated are too numerous to address in one sentence.  There are growing amounts of energy and a seemingly deep desire to act upon their frustration and the Occupy movement is offering a voice to those who have not had one. 


 Occupy Wall Street from my point of view is about the once complacent who are finally waking up from their slumber from digital device distraction and expressing their frustrations openly to those who've tried to pacify them. They will find the one singular thread that connects them... their true desire for positive social and financial CHANGE. Real, significant change not the facade of promises we have endured for years that have allowed for us to get here. 


Maybe complacency is over. Let the voices gather, share their hardships and successes, make connections between the dots, let them get louder and more unified. Let them move beyond voicing complaints to organizing behind true workable solutions. Action is the simplest answer to getting what you want.
