OWS is using stationary bicycles to power batteries that are used to provide all the power they need (and more) since the police stole their generators.

'tis strange I should be old and neither wise nor valiant. From "The Maid's Tragedy" by Beaumont & Fletcher

As my wife commented about that generator theft (we have a Honda eu2000i which we regard with awe): the excuse was that the generators and propane bottles were dangerous, yet the following story on the news was the massive tailgate parties at sports venues, with literally hundreds of propane and charcoal grills, and dozens of generators in a parking lot full of drunks and gasoline loaded cars.

We're not quite there yet. Just like the portapotty toilets that were donated, but never cleaned.

Your existence is acknowledged. Your needs are not.

How conservative.

Align culture with our nature.
