Public Protests Should Be Used Sparingly  Wednesday, July 03,
2013  I know some "Occupy" geeks. Many are quite passionate
about the issues and their hearts are in the right place. Others
are merely rabble-rousers who, as in many movements, want to
make a big noise so they get a little attention. The latter of
these can be dangerous to any movement because of their
inability, or unwillingness, to communicate points at issue.
They would rather just make noise and cause trouble. There are
ways to handle these, what I call "coattailers."   I know many
others who support the ideals represented by these Occupiers.
These, too, have their hearts in the right place... but for one
reason or another cannot, or are afraid to, join in the fun,
often because of the coattailers and the negative vibs they
bring to the party.  Observing the methods and tactics used by
the general population of Occupiers, one must wonder why they
refuse to learn from not just their own experience, but the
experience of those who've come before
