Here is a piece of data that may or may not surprise you

Ok I live in the land of fruits and nuts... but still. With some of the vitriol we see here against OWS... you'd expect that by now I would have met somebody that opposes it in the flesh... I mean for real.

Alas I have yet to meet one person that opposes OWS. Either people do not know enough and once you tell them what they stand for they nod and smile, or they support them. I have yet to meet one that does not, and that includes the "redder" areas of this county.

I have met one Libertarian who opposes the methods, but not the goals... that is the most I have found.

This brings me to the possible thinking, anybody has a good poli sci degree and wants to run the numbers? But I am starting to suspect that in spite of the Media efforts support for OWS is actually far deeper than we have been told.

And me, well occupying my small corner of the media, doing far more than OWS these days, but I suspect there is something that has struck a real nerve and this is what scares the POLITICAL and MEDIA class.
