I posted the whole thing because it's genuine. It shows a real person and her son. It is about their experience in traveling from NW Ohio to Wall Street. They found it kind of scary at first, but then settled in. They were taken care of by the others around. It is an account of a vastly disparate group of people, all looking for things to change. Note, not for the same thing, this is not a herd of dittoheads. She says:

I keep reading and hearing that "they" don't have a clear agenda. I think their agenda is perfectly clear, if not offically worded. It's a movement that wants less discrepency betweent the haves and the have-nots. I saw a group of people who want to fix what is wrong and getting wronger in American society.

and she saw that happening in person among the people present:

In essence, the OWS people were doing their best to create a system similar to what they would like to see happen across the nation. People were stepping up and doing what needed to be done, based on their personal strengths and interests.

She saw lots of very different people and she was left with a sense of hope:

I saw young people volunteering to clean toilets. I saw young people sweeping the sidewalks.

Some were dread lock wearing, drumming, incense burning hippies. Some were wearing Hollister. Most would not raise eyebrows on any street.

I saw young people writing, speaking, and reading. People were sharing literature. No one was asking for money. People were sharing.

So, yes, very revolutionary. I saw hundreds (maybe thousands? I have no clue) of people behaving in ways that would make any reasonable mother proud.

I saw a microcosm of what the USA should be like. I saw hope.
