As I have written I am sympathetic with their anger at the Establishment for failing to manage the economy well which is the primary function of the Establishment. However, the OWS are showing their ignorance today and in general by continuing what they have been doing.
Today they hope to shut down the New York Stock Exchange. What are they going to do, pull the computer plugs out of the electric socket? Unbury the electricity lines from 150 feet under the street and cut them? Do this everywhere that stocks are traded? Don't they know the NYSE has lost a huge percent of its market share to computers somewhere else?
They have made their point. It is time for them to sleep at home, look for a job during the day and get involved in the political campaign of their choice to try and bring about change the only way it is going to occur; by getting politicians in office who can try and improve the management of the economy.
That is one of the primary roles of government and the one that the Republicans do not believe in and the role they failed to do during the Bush Administration causing this mess.
