Agreed, Little Hawk. This OWS movement that has not only spread all over the country, but much of the world as well, I see as a really hopeful sign. Despite the attempts of some folks to attribute it to sinister motives on the part of the usual Powers That Be, it appears to me that it has said Powers That Be trembling in their boots.

Didn't I hear yesterday that some 600,000 people shifted their bank accounts from the BIG banks (Bank of America, Chase, etc.) to small local banks and credit unions? As far as the biggies are concerned, that's gotta smart! And that campaign was pretty much set up on the internet. I know I got several e-mails urging me to move my account to a neighborhood bank or credit union, but I wasn't able to sign a pledge to do that because my wife and I already use a credit union, and have for years. We have ONE credit card, which we got through them also;   no fees or charges if you pay off your balance every month, which we do.

I think this OWS movement is a good indication that the genii is out of the bottle and is just starting to test his strength!
