Occupy Wall Street protest
Has anyone been down to wall street, or joined a similar protest where you're at? I've been down once, I'm a Sociology major and planning on a doing research project on the movement so I'm planning on spending a lot more time.. But just curious as the general stance here? Even though as of now there is no clear cut agenda or organization the fact that its getting this much momentum and people are actually voicing their frustrations to me is a beautiful thing for democracy. I really hope that rather then just focus on one issue, different movements use this as a platform for solidarity and bring up issues of all the voiceless. So yeah in my eyes would be great to see some more diverse activism...

Re: Occupy Wall Street protest
I understand the organic function of the protest, where no one wants to limit the rally to a concrete complaints, but there's gotta be some focus, some foundations.
It's like a paper bag holding water, eventually it will burst because of the lack of cohesion.
By the way, I completely & wholeheartedly support what's going on.
Maybe the protests will eventually assume the power of the banks - "We're too big to fail!!!"
