I've been following this since before it started. I actually find it exciting that it's finally getting some press coverage. (The current nytimes.com main picture is of cops at Occupy Wall Street). I feel we're in a period of great change. So far the protests are peaceful and I for one am glad to see them although I am not participating. http://occupychi.org/ The system we have is broken. Prayer, meditation, peaceful protests... it's all good.
