Just asking ... this summer was supposed to be a big summer for OWS. Is that totally gone now? n/t

259. "Sometimes lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for."

I agree it is a great cause and a necessary one. But the problem is Wall St.
Not jobs, not sharing more of the pie, Wall St itself. Many of the people I met seemed to just want part of the pie.
We need to stop turning our last precious natural lands and resources into money. Today. People talk about our borrowing from China and the horrible debt we are leaving behind.
The most horrible debt is climate change. Wall St is only magnifying and hastening our descent into bleak future. Every dollar in it, every hour spent in its service is only adding to the suffering. Chinese debt? That will be the last of their worries. What would they be willing to pay to have a slightly normal climate again? What would they be willing to pay to see a redwood forest or salmon again? Those are the real costs of Wall St and they are being passed on with interest to the only thing that should really matter to us. What we have done to make it better for our kids. We have mortgaged any future they might have had for McMansions, Audi's and corporate dreams.
