I will go buy a map and figure out where Wall Street is in relation to Washington D.C. so that I'm able to see that a demonstration anywhere but in the Capital building is just a waste of time and will not accomplish anything.
Listen, thanks for taking time out of your night to explain these things to me. I'm better off and promise to be a better person going forward because of your generosity!

On this board, your join date is everything.
You say that protesting the Capital building won't change a thing, but this is in fact where the laws are made. The banks are making money; They don't want to change a thing. The change will have to come from Washington DC. All protest movements land in Washington in the end - that is the only place that can make change.
But it's kind of pointless. They have no message, no demands. With the war protests it was simple: "get out of Vietnam". With the civil rights movement it was also simple: "We want equal rights for everyone". OWS wants... What? For the banks to stop making money?
A lot of effort is being put out, but it's not directed any where at any thing. It's just a group of people saying "I'm unhappy".
