WILL THE PROTEST BE HEARD BEFORE IT BECOMES MORE FORCEFUL AS PEOPLE GET ANGRIER??

The Occupy Wall Street movement is out to focus the nation's attention on decades of increasing inequality.  Joshua Holland wrote: If Top 1% Hadn't Ripped Off Trillions, You'd Likely Be Making Thousands of Dollars More Right Now.  To read the whole article, click here.

Yotam Maron writes:  Click here for his advice on how the protesters can beat Wall St.  These two articles were written after only two weeks of protest.  At that point the protest was believed to be disorganized and leaderless with no specific goals.

The protest is gradually taking form.  Leaders are taking their places and people are listening to them.  The 'real' protesters are obeying health and economic considerations, cleaning up after themselves.  Having been used to assigning a committee to study the problem, Washington remains at sea about the protest since none have taken the time to listen to the protesters or their constituents.

News flash to the Washington elected officials:  Stop trying to guess what this is all about; stop listening to those powerful, rich 1% who paid for you but are not those to whom you swore an oath on the Bible (totally ingenuously it would appear);  angry people should be heard because anger only escalates when ignored.

Signs say much that can be read when not heard.  To see some of the sign (note people carrying them are not all college students) 












The 1% may lose their control over the country, the lobbyists may not be followed, and even the Supreme Court should do well to watch their judgements that fight histories views.  Corporations are not people!  Judge Roberts, what could you be thinking???
