3. We all have our right to our own say

5. The most influential "person" of 2011?
Hard to say since TM does not stick to its own standards. But probably not. People protesting not the state but the actual corporate power structure while demanding an end to capitalism as it presently exists is outside the range of dissent permitted by the hegemonic power structure.

I think they will pander to public sentiment and either make it Steve Jobs or the Arab Spring.
