Government Reform Vs. Abolishment

I would like to gauge where people stand on this Issue. Please State where you stand, then if you would like, throw in your own two cents.

Do you see this movement of "Occupy Wall Street" as the beginning of the overturn of the Government and the powers that be?

Or

Do you see this movement of "Occupy Wall Street" as a precursor to government reform and restructure?

Or

Is it a bunch of "jobless Hippies" shouting over nothing?

Simple Answers first please.

I see this as the Beginning of the end for The Powers That Be. I also see this as the beginning of a new era for humanity, a positive change for the future and the ending of our enslavement.

Abolish the fed, dissolve the government, try and jail all of the traitors that sell this country out for bribes.

I think it's an uprising for an obvious change considering that TPTB are treating most of us like sheep, while some of us still continue to act like sheep.

I see them as young, naive...maybe not "hippies" but certainly idealistic people that don't even own guns most likely and probably aren't that violent to overthrow the government. I don't think it's gonna be them that would do that. It's gonna take something like the government taking Americans' guns away to get us that angry. Just my opinion. Honestly, it's gonna take a lot of guts for Americans to "overthrow" the government. What would it take to do that? That is the question...

I honestly believe that we could do it with little effort. All it requires is enough people waking up to what we are capable of as a whole.

If OWS can maintain a presence for a long period of time especially in DC than I see government reform taking place.

The only problem is whenever the Gov't reforms something, it is rarely well thought out.

They don't remove/repeal outdated laws, but rather just overwrite them. And the reform usually comes in a package so big that you have to be a lawyer to understand it all. And if the reform involves finances, there are always the unforeseen cost over runs. Instead of streamlining, it becomes more convoluted.

I don’t see a overthrow of the Government.

If by “overturn” of the Government, you mean through elections, I can see that definitely happening.

Nope, I don’t see them as hippies either, though there are some in the crowd, but rather as a group of angry, confused people who are wondering where their future lies in this current economy.

Didn't really answer your question, did I?

I think I'd make a great politician.
