I predict that OWS will re-invent itself over the winter and will become a legit protest group, and instead of camping out in city parks and pissing off the local police who has done nothing wrong, they'll grow up and march on Washington DC.

I completely disagree that it's a giant fail. It will indeed continue to grow, and morph into what's needed to accomplish the goals set forth. It's already a legit protest group, with plans to move into Washington D.C. in January. We need to crawl before we can walk.
