no one thinks otherwise, though, do they? or is that intended for the folks on other lists?

I mean, sure, people make disparaging comments about people who hold up signs that sy, "Shit is fucked up and bullshit".

the issue remains that some folks here seem to think that the guys who hold up signs that say "shit is fucked up and bullshit" (or anything else that isn't "correct" thinking) are a drag on OWS, will keep it down, will liquidate it with incorrect thinking, bad politics, too much willingness to act instead of read long critiques of the Volker rule.

as such, the concern is how to extricate the good people and keep them from getting caught up in OWS silliness. I think Marv said it about Lou Proyect. Lou's arguments are fabulous for keeping people like me from supporting or engaging in Black Blocs, etc.
