Thoughts, opinions, etc?

I don't know too much about what's going on, just that it's a peaceful protest against "big business".

Very strange. Protesting against Wall Street doesn't make much sense to me. "The rich" make the most money when the whole world is prosperous. Look back at any booming economy, and the richest are making crazy amounts of profit. When the economy tanks, they either make little or lose a ton.

Carlos Slim lost $8 billion in one day a few weeks ago. Did that make any of these protesters any happier? Did it get that guy's mom her home back? No. Protesting Wall Street sounds like blind rage to me. No real purpose, no real effect, just venting on something you are prejudiced against.
