What is Occupy Wall Street? If you’ve tuned into any of the YouTube footage of the protests in lower Manhattan, by now you know that it’s Main Street vs. Wall Street. A few of us began to notice this small uprising about 10 days ago in Zuccotti Park through local print media or online outlets. (For those of you outside of NYC, I’ve been here 27 years and I’ve never heard of Zuccotti Park. Neither have many native New Yorkers that I speak with.) The mainstream media, for the most part, did not report on the gathering of people for the first few days or weeks. Last Saturday, the whole story blew into the evening news at full strength after 700 were arrested.

Hi Dwayne.

One reason protests were more organized and more focused in the late '60's was with the "help" of the Soviet Union, fomenting insurrection...

The idealistic protesters (those who weren't just bored, or following w/o purpose) never quite realized that, only that they were frustrated - like now. Not that there wasn't - and isn't - PLENTY to protest!!
