One of the most important aspects of the entire Occupy movement is having a forum to both agree and disagree and be heard. Also, every city that is participating with protests has it's unique regional flavor. To me, this has been helpful to better understand things outside of my own region and what others are experiencing. This is part of the beauty of the entire movement.
Although it was hard to take criticism back in the 60's about social movements and our discourse as activists, it was an important aspect of growth in order to effect change. No way will all of us agree with tactics utilized. Being able to discuss these things is important and for me, at the core of how Occupy will continue to bring awareness about inequity in the US.
