More On Occupy Wall Street

Seven hundred people got arrested yesterday during the ongoing march in New York to Occupy Wall Street. This has not been getting much press, and I think that's because no one wants to give the marchers or their messages any attention or thought. It looks as if they are not going anywhere, though. I am encouraged to see different groups, different individuals, and different ages of people, with different messages for the banking industry and corperations. If we do not hold these people and institutions accountable for what they do with EVERYONE'S resources, who will?        

                                                  

Here's the police, probably wondering who to arrest and who not to arrest. Once again, I don't see any media covering the event. But then, there hasn't been any violence........Below, we have older people occupying Wall Street, as well. According to Micheal Moore, this is more likely than originally thought to take place in other parts of the country, as well.

"Seasoned activists said the ad-hoc protest could prove to be a training ground for future organizers of larger and more cohesive demonstrations, or motivate those on the sidelines to speak out against injustices.

"You may not get much, or any of these things on the first go-around," said the Rev. Herbert Daughtry, a longtime civil rights activist who has participated in protests for decades. "But it's the long haul that matters."

I'm not sure what to really expect, at this point. It might be interesting to invite Mitt Romney to speak at one of the events taking place under the auspices of Occupy Wall Street, though. His position that "corperations are people" could finally get the perspective it deserves to give the votors an idea of what his platform is all about! (ok........that was sarcasm)

                                               

This is what Micheal Moore had to say:
