Would anyone be willing to start an open blog for beginners who are new to the subject that can be accessible to be understood from new high school graduates and onwards in age?
Possibly detailing what happened with the 2008 economic crisis,why and what can be done as well as pre history that led up to this.As well as the other BIG issues as to WHY people are protesting in NYC and soon to be all over the country.
Your input and links,videos,websites,articles,quotes are all vital. I know there are a lot of people who are in the dark as to what is going on and what is happening. If you could provide anything that is easily readable,watchable,overly understandable,and concise to the point on the main issues that would be great.
Feel free to leave comments and maybe we can all contribute and create something.

And finally, a great, short video from BBC news this week. It is a trader telling it how it is, kind of refreshing and terrifying at the same time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC19fEqR5bA
