Occupy WallStreet Biggest event of our times
when I first saw this starting, I was so happy. Than, I starting reading threads, "they are not organized, they don't have a clear message, etc." Well I remember them saying the same thing about Egypt. It has to start somewhere, you don't need an end result, first get peoples attention, than figure out the next move. We all know things have to change, lets just get the ball rolling first, than see where we are at after that. I give them so much credit, and I will be going there tomorrow, they will be needing winter coats and rain coats. This is the biggest message, and It will take alot of will and perseverance. I know in the past we had real organized protests with a clear message, where did that get us. We showed up when they told us and left when they said it was time to leave, we were so organized and had a big showing. What did it do? Nothing. I trust these young people, they know what they are doing, it's time to pull out all stops and let them fight the fight, I believe in what they are doing. It is the beginning of something big.

4. You are correct but I think this kind of started with Egypt, Wisconsin
and other recent protests around the world - they are all connected and they are all about the same thing - the economic and environmental crisis we find ourselves in today. My grandson and I were talking about it today at lunch. He asked about the organization thing and my answer was this: There are many small items to be angry about but they all point to one issue: the banksters corruption and the rule of greed. That is the target. Not a bunch of disconnected dots but a road map to the guilty.
