I am 80+ myself, a retired university professor and I joined the protesters in Washington D.C. today. It was a treat to see young men and women all around me. There were no oldies like me, but I felt young all over again. I shouted slogans, recited my poems (for I am a poet also), waved my flag, too.

A woman came to me and said, "Sir, do you remember, I was your student in the University of the District of Columbia ten years ago. You taught us English." I said, "Yes", but that was a lie.

"i studied art, music and teaching majors to do what i want"

"i studied ecnomics and finance to get a job i hate, but ultimately will provide a luxurious life style in compensation for the less entertaining 8-10 hour work days not to mention my positive and high salary usualy means i am expanding industries and creating jobs" "well i have an idea, how about you do all that annoying work, and we both get payed the same?"

"well if i make less money then i wont do this annoying job"

"oh........."

Good heavens, Julian assange is brainwashing this group of young vulnerable people. Repeat after me, I am your leader...

Hi, I echo your sentiments. I'm sending you a link to a Youtube video I shot and composed music for, on this very subject. It's a satirical look at capitalism and the erosion of culture as we know it! I made this film because it's frustrating trying to teach my three year old son right from wrong while reading of corporate greed and the like.

Just go to youtube and search for 'Trash Culture.mp4'

Keep up the good work.

If the bank of England was demolished/reformed and we created money direct from the government without fractional reserve lending an economic meltdown wouldn’t exist again in the UK.

These greedy, unethical, selfish, private, international Central Banks (IMF, Bank Of England, World Bank etc) hold the main reason for this Global economic slavery that’s happening today. Only we can stop this.

Watch the money masters on youtube for your freinds, familys and countrys sake
