OCCUPY WALL STREET

I don't know what will come of the burgeoning movement to "occupy Wall Street," but it is the first serious protest I have ever seen aimed directly at the growing inequality in America. Aside from saying "Amen," there doesn't seem to be much I can do to support it. I hope it grows. By itself it cannot change anything directly, but it can certainly raise general awareness about the inequality. Interestingly, this seems to be an event that the mainstream media are taking note of.
