I agree. This is practice. The OWS stage is just so the agitators can meet the rabble, collect phone numbers and email addresses, and get people enthused and worked up.
Come winter, the OWS crowds will go home, but organization and agitation will continue "under the radar". Then, come spring, expect them to all come out, try to trash the Republican convention in Tampa in August, and then try to disrupt the 2012 elections.
