Sharing Hope - Occupy

I might be kidding myself, but the Occupy Movement has given me hope. The first in a while, despite some doubts.

I got asked why it gave me hope on G+ and also why they (OWS) seemed uplifting.
My answers:

1. They are still there. In Wall St.
2. They have smart conscientious people like Max Keiser trying to advise them.
