Real change will come from Washington, I agree, but Wall Street isn't without blood on their hands either.

Then why the hell aren't they protesting in front of the white house, those are the people that continued to hand out bailouts, they're the ones that didn't regulate what was happening?
Contrary to the illusion that's being perpetrated by the occupy movement, there are very few of the so called one percent that are being inconvienienced.
Not everyone on Wall Street drives a porche and has a butler accompanied elevated to the top floor of Duke and Duke.
And I agree, when you watch the news and have person after person complaining about the occupy camps because they stink, they're noisy and their ugly, that my friend is not an effective protest, its an annoyance and thats differenct.
They keep listing their demands and screaming and raising their grubby hands stating that they're not leaving until they get their change, but really have any serious powerbrokers said yeah they're right lets listen. Or do the cries of these squatters generally fall on deaf ears now because they're lunatics?
As far as protests go, the dirty stinking hippy generation has it all over these guys in spades. They were focused and honestly fairly organized in their disorganization, and they changed a nation. It feels like all that these people have done is make people roll their eyes.
