Definitely the case. But I can't help but think about the 1960s and today and their similarities. Seems that social action doesn't take place until the country reaches a breaking point:
In the '60s and early '70s, it took a war, over 50,000 body bags and a lying government of criminals that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent foreign people and that fed a war machine that generated profits for the rarefied few. Corporations increasingly levied their power to influence domestic and foreign policy. It's not the different in 2011. It has taken two wars, thousands of body bags, hundreds of thousands of innocent foreign people killed, and a lying government whose policies supported the few criminals who profited from their greedy mistakes--paid for by the many.
Excellent job on updating #OWS actions and status. Great stuff.
