Even if they get all their demands met, if voting is rigged we will simply be screwed worse a few years down the road.

2. I know I am dreaming. And if there are people in the streets

3. Feel free to start your own movement.
OWS are out there for very specific economic reasons. Start tacking on other things and it begins to mean less and less.

5. It's all tied together. The top 1% own the companies that make the voting machines
Doesn't have any less meaning to me. Seems pretty crystal clear.

7. I think you're right. If OWS is about reclaiming democracy, honest voting
