Does it make you think that maybe occupying spaces is a tactic that gets results?

"Occupy" is just a spin on "sit-in" designed (originally, anyway) to satirize our use of military occupations to solve other countries' problems. Or that's how I read it, anyway. It's not like this is a novel or unproven tactic. The use of masses of individuals to continually disrupt the normal business of a protested organization is pretty old.

During the Iran-Contra hearings, I was involved in a congressional office occupation. We did not get everything we hoped, but we got more than we feared. As with the case outlined in this article, we got the attention of people in charge.

If you don't know what "positive result" means, I cannot imagine you are arguing in good faith, and as such, you are not worth any time.

Good day.

Anybody with half a brain knows that the definition game can go on indefinitely. If you cannot understand what is meant by an insanely common sense phrase then there is no point talking to you.

You are being deliberately obtuse.

Of course Occupy is getting results. Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica have been made to weigh in!
