and it's not over yet. I don't hear 'silence' when I see so many other people out on the street, protesting fossil fuels, Keystone, working to bring solutions to Climate Change -- Occupy woke up the country -- and many are still waking up each and every day because of the groundwork laid at that time. No, there are no people camping out in parks but that was a watershed moment for the country and because of it, people realized that they could make a difference, that they did still have a voice in the matter of how we are governed and what issues are addressed. It's going to take longer than "overnight" is all... but we are transforming ourselves.

I hate to think where we would be at this point if Occupy never happened.

The electricity is still there -- look closer!

And as Uncle Joe said upthread, Bernie's campaign carrying the message forward.
