i believe that this protest thing has no point and is taken too far. Especially in now a days when the economy is a long way from as strong as it used to be, things are only getting worse due to these protest for instance forcing the police and sanitation department to spend more money. and with today's situation yes there are reasons to protest but i believe that protesting the big banks and other corporations is pointless and that the real protest should be against Obama and his lack of handling the current situation for instance bailing out Solyndra with more than $535 million dollars while it still went bankrupt. i think that one way to fix the economy isnt by standing around like idiots and protesting while collecting unemployment checks but rather cut down on government spending and encouraging people to open up small businesses. yes it will be hard but on the other hand it takes a great effort to do this. We should still keep a limited regulated and lezze fair Capitalist Economy because those are ones that grow fast not socialist economies because there is no good to them

the more small biz there are, the more jobs it creates, which leads to lower unemployment-> leads to growth-> leads to strong economy,-> lead to lower poverty (no idiots protesting)!!!!!

The point of OWS is to wake everyone up. The occupation of land is a powerful statement. I don't think we need extremeism, people need to get and go to work on the next level this movement must go to or risk falling back to sleep.

Dont mark such topic as Urgent unless this is emergency for everyone to read. Please change the subject line.

I have a small business making and selling jewelry. No way I can compete with all the finished products brought here from China. Protest and circumspection is the job of the conscientious citizen. Either this is rule by the people, for the people and of the people or it isn't. It's up to us to make sure that it is.

Your writing is incoherent, largely, for a lack of punctuation or logical sentence structure, so, forgive me if I misinterpreted, but it really looks like you said,"now when the economy is strong".

Seriously? The economy is strong? I guess you must be one of the 1%. For the rest of us, it's a daily struggle.
