You have been hounded by the media for a list of leaders and a list of demands. Please, please don't give in to the pressure.
My reasoning is below.
Of course they want a list of demands and leaders. Why? Because they start destroying them. It's what our current lazy, useless media does. They select portions of those leaders lives or words to discredit them and then laugh at the demands or declare in their most serious voices the unreasonableness of those demands.
The media today is very different from the media I grew up with. We never had He Said, She Said media where "both sides" of an issue received air time to bloviate talking points with both treated with equal credibility. Nor did we have lies openly told without being pointed out and corrections given. We never had pundits instead of experts. Facts were paramount; opinion was relegated to editorials.
We had the Who, What, When, Where, and Why that we are so badly lacking today. Now our media brings on "personalities" with vested interests to argue talking points with each other. Same stuff day after day.
OWS is educating people and waking the country up to the massive theft that has been going on for decades. They are enlightening people to the massive propaganda that if they are in debt, or despair, foreclosure, can't find a job that pays anything decent, have seen their pensions looted or benefits disappear, and have given up their hopes for a better future that is entirely their own fault.
It isn't their fault. They're victims of a system that has been pillaging the working class, poor, and vulnerable for the benefit of a very small minority. And that monied elite has bought our government, our courts, and our political process so they can continue to rob and rob until they have everything.
OWS is empowering us with People Power. They may have nearly all the money, but we have the masses. That money may buy the government and the police, but it can not overwhelm the power of millions of people who are sick and tired of a system rigged against them.
So, yes, they have sent their media representatives to ask for leaders and demands. The Talking Heads have their propaganda points ready for action to discredit and decry.
Don't give them what they want. OWS is great just the way it is. Keep awakening, enlightening, and educating. Let them keep running scared as the people rise up in anger now that they know what has been done to them and by who.
Demands are unnecessary. You have already changed the dialogue from the need for austerity measures and budget cuts to the need for jobs. As this movement grows, the discussion will change even more to where it should have been all along. And action will follow. Keep it up. You're effective just as you are.
Don't give in to demands for an organizational chart of leadership either. It's unnecessary. Look where the collective action of the assemblies has gotten you. It's nothing but a trap.
The Power of the People fighting the Power of Money. I'm glad I'm on the right side.
Update - my title was lame update: Just a title change to clarify what this is all about.
