Powell did have some advice for the Occupiers, who he warned to not dip into nihilism. He said that while the protesting was as, “American as apple pie,” and that we’ve been demonstrating throughout our American history, it has to be more than just an angry mob. “It isn’t enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. We need our political system to start reflect this anger back into, ‘How do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again?’”
