Everyone has heard that flat monotone sound of a heart rate machine flat lining. It is long, dull, and it indicates that whatever it is monitoring no longer has a pulse. If the Occupy Movements had a tone, I am sure it would be flat lining as the protests have begun to falter.

Michael Bloomberg is the Mayor of New York City. I did not hear once about people protesting in front of his house or complaining about the mayor. This is funny because Mayor Bloomberg is worth $19.5 billion earning way over the $380,000. While Occupy Wall Street was complaining about the top 1 percent, they failed to realize that they are letting one govern them.
The Occupy Wall Street might have failed as well because the movement failed to construct and convey a common message. If everyone is talking at the same time, no one is going to be able to hear you. Real movements are organized, have a plan and set goals.
