I definitely think that the issue of informed citizenship is the biggest issue facing not just the US, but all democracies, easily trumping wealth disparity imo.
If citizens do not have the means, time, or inclination to stay informed, and yet they still vote, then democracy is a sham. Nothing more than a thinly veiled obfuscation to make people think they have a say in government.
Something has to be done about this, otherwise how do we expect all our other problems to be fixed?

What are all the major networks spending they're time on as RT is reporting real news? The 30 year death of Natalie Wood. Like Fox news does on a regular basis for the right. It seems all network news channels are united on misleading the American people about this movement. Thanks to OWS we are now seeing the bigger picture. Exposing all the networks for what they really are. Fox, CBS, ABC, NBC are the 1%. This is bigger than party politics and the lack of honest reporting proves it.

Bloomberg has it in his mind that he can treat US Citizens as if they were Palestinians -- once they move beyond some imagined line drawn in his own head. His hubris has truly shown itself with this event. Arresting and head-locking journalists, and confiscating cell phone media devices -- where does he pretend to have such power? Perhaps now the media will wise up. Help New York rid themselves of this monster!

Democracy should be called Dumocrazy. Democracy can work well in smaller populations but when you get past a certain point it is next to useless. Democracy depends on informed citizens. When you have millions of people with different education, backgrounds etc and their only form of public participation(besides protest which has been limited)is to vote every few years from a preselected group of wealthy people that are not obligated to keep their promises, this is exactly what you get.
