(right-wing think-tank American Enterprise Institute toured OWS first hand, and observed of OWStreeters, "These people are conservatives, they just don't know it"  Perhaps it is the AEI's preconception of "liberals" that was askew, before? Corporations have spent billions to keep the Conservatives vs. Liberals divide as wide as possible, because when the people are divided, their oppressors flourish. 99 % of us have more in common with each other than we have with the 1%. Hopefully, the real moral of the AEI's positive experience touring OWS is that WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER, we have more in common than we know, and the 1% is screwing us all.)
