It is important to address the real needs of the 99 percent

We appear to be at yet another crossroads of history here in the U.S. It concerns me as Occupy Camps get shut down in cities across the U.S. that it will just be seen as "Complete Disenfranchisement" by many of the 99%. This doesn't really help anyone and only angers those without jobs or money or a place to stay or the ability to get married and raise a family even more. Without useful actions that result in jobs it is illogical to think that the Occupy movement is going to go away and not just get angrier by the day instead. I fear for our democracy at times like these that we presently live in. However, if our democracy could weather the Great Depression, World War II, World War I, the 1800s and the late 1700s, likely we will find our way through all this as well.
