OWS is winning

At least when it comes to creating conversation, argues Dylan Byers:

A quick search of the news--including print articles, web stories and broadcast transcripts--via Nexis reveals a significant rise in the use of the term “income inequality,” from less than 91 instances in the week before the occupation started to almost 500 instances last week.

Of course, you might argue that the whole idea wasn't to create conversation at all. But, as I've questioned before, who knows what the objective was in the first place? When considering the term 'income equality', one is almost compelled to immediately dismiss such a lame combination of words as mere idiocy: it's an oxymoron in every sense except definition (don't we live in a meritocracy, after all?). Regardless, it's difficult to deny that conversation about this sort of thing is, in the end, probably a good thing. At least that has happened.
