I just can't see it being the current OWS folk though. A bunch of ragtag hippies, and uni students? Who do they have on their side that's of any importance? Jesse Ventura, Alex Jones, and Michael Moore? Nobody cares in the slightest what they say.

Get some highly decorated US generals, or even guys like George Clooney and Matt Damon. At least people respect them, and listen to what they say. Right now, it's just a bunch of dirty idiots sitting around in parks, wiggling their fingers at each other, and doing dumb stunts like raiding churches and yelling at the minister. Oh, and that human microphone thing has to go to. Wow, I can't possibly think of a more annoying way to try and convey a message.

I agree, there's a decent chance of a popular uprising on the horizon, but I highly doubt it'll be the current OWS. Everyone keeps saying another financial meltdown is coming, which is going to make 2008 pale in comparison, so maybe that'll be the trigger. If and when you have hard working, intelligent, respectable folk who have their life savings wiped out, then you can maybe expect something to happen.
