Hi tkc,

Interesting observation.

I think there is a simple message. It's about equality. We are the 99%, the dispossessed. But we still have a vote. And we know that the 1% have ended up with everything and they don't give much back.

I agree with you about the fact that there will be movers behind the scenes. I hope this movement gets people motivated again and keeps the far right crazies from taking power.

Hi CF, these protests are interesting because they don't appear to have central leadership; don't appear to have core motivation. Although it appears to be just very "ticked off" individuals w/ various splintered causes for their current circumstance somehow focusing their ire on Wall Street, logic suggests there must be some shadow leadership that lit this fuse and mobilized/directed this pent up discontent. Just as similarly the Tea Party was created and organized via right wing financing and strong advocacy from the likes of Dick Army and Rick Santelli.
It seems to me, that while this movement appears to be growing, for it to truly have significant influence, the discontent now needs vocal leadership to consolidate and express the causation issues.
If the outcome, which I suspect may occur, is a left wing mirror of the Tea Party, then gridlock is inevitable and the Federal Gov't will become totally compromised/ineffectual.
