OCCUPY WALL STREET

this has given me a lot to think about. i think that we are confusing terms across the board. by very definition, "genocide" is probably not possible in America. because genocide is, according to Dictionary.com , "the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group." i think OWS, as a group, can't be boxed into any one of those wholly because all of those groups are included and represented in the movement in all of those individual descriptor's varieties. so what IS the term?
