Neither is OWS. Forgive me while I get philosophical and Buddhist and use a lot of white space.
Set A: What can I (a frail rural retiree) actually do for or against OWS or their issues? Nothing much except research and post.
Set B: What different acts are the different people labeled OWS actually doing? Are there any of those acts I strongly agree or disagree with?
Do any of Set A easily match up with any of Set B? Yes. I agree with the economic message they're publicizing, and I can support that by researching and posting statistics, graphs, etc.
At this stage, that's all I can do, so that message is all I NEED to know about or judge. (Even if they all turned out to be bait and switch vampires or something, still the 'bait' is a true message worth supporting for itself.)
(Of course it's fun to debunk the silly charges against them too.)
