Very likely that the Occupy movement will not have any effect on anything at all, except exorbitant media coverage.
Few, if any, have made any demands or suggestions about the changes they want to see, and there is not even a leadership among the movements to give them a voice. This will be their greatest downfall because without leadership, without a voice to speak their concerns and turn their thousands and thousands of whimpers into a single voice, they all drown each other out.
Also, if you look through history, peaceful protests have accomplished very little. Its the violent ones that lead to change.

zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

It's only because they are willing to run it. The average joe and jane abdicate their responsibility by voting for people they know nothing about and have been proven liars and salesmen.
