You know, it would be fun to go back and look at the posts here that thought OWS was the shits.
But, hey, I've received warnings, and it's time to be a kinder, gentler, and even tenderer Tenderman.
However, I do enjoy the current state of the OWS movement, as succinctly described by these remarks.

Oh, well, [sarcasm]It had good intentions.[/sarcasm]
The good news is that we no longer have filthy, garbarge and disease ridden encampments, with the occasional rape thrown in for excitement.

OWS: Pushing Up Daisies, Not Pining for the Fjords
Quick: what important world event happened one year ago yesterday? Give up? Don’t worry. We didn’t get it either.
Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street—the movement that was to be the Left’s answer to the Tea Party, the one that had the chattering classes abuzz with excitement that History had reached an inflection point.
Instead, the slow process of attrition has all but killed off the movement. As MercuryNews reports, fewer than 500 people showed up for an anniversary demonstration in San Francisco, and very small numbers turned up in New York as well, considerably fewer than the thousands who were turning out at events late last year.
OWS, like John Cleese’s parrot, is still dead. If you can’t get more than “hundreds” of demonstrators to turn out in San Francisco, it’s past time to call the hearse.
