People Power
I know this can be a touchy subject - it is actually - and it is one that has me filled with excitement.
In downtown Manhattan a group of people started a movement that has been growing exponentially and it will continue to do so as days go by.
At the beginning it was laughed at, ignored by the media but as days go by and the numbers of participants grow it has now taken center stage in our now "messed up US of A".
What will eventually happen, I do not know but what I do know is that if the White House isn't doing it, the people will demand that is done so - as it is intended with a true democracy and government that should be of the people.
There has to be a strong reaction to the present economical and political situation.
They are also getting more organized - and without a leader, but as a people, which is great.

The problem with most American protests is the lack of a central point and the tendency to attract all manner of people who only want to publicize their own more narrow agenda. The few anti war protests I saw in 2003 were a mix of opportunists looking to goof off, display their bongo drum skills and distribute pamphlets urging the destruction of Israel. To be sure none of them were supporting the war but there wasn't much cohesion on that particular topic during the event. I do hope there's a bit more focus, like other countries are able to manage when they go out to protest.

I listened to the statement from Occupy. It seems quite good and this could be the start of middle america organizing and if that should happen then katie bar the door. The timing is sooooooo right to organize. I am for capitalism but not for uncontrolled greed capitalism. We need a severe adjustment and perhaps this will be the beginning.

It's good that people realize that not just governments are evil, but also banks and corporations.
I could really use a fish right now

Another gathering of Liberal Twits
Just more liberals with too much time on their hands, or a gathering of incompetent hypocrites.
Gee I wonder where the hollywood types who are there have and get their money?
Dodd and Frank destroyed Fannie and Freddie, hmmm, I wonder why they do not go after people who are really guilty of destroying lives-- WAIT-- because they are also liberals.
