Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is a protest movement that began September 17, 2011 in Zuccotti Park, located in New York City's Wall Street financial district. OWS was initiated by the Canadian activist group Adbusters and activists in New York City. It has led to Occupy protests and movements around the world. The OWS protests are against social and economic inequality, greed, corruption and the undue influence of corporations on government—particularly from the financial services sector. Their slogan, We are the 99%, addresses the growing income inequality and wealth distribution in the U.S. between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population. To effect change OWS engages in "direct action" instead of petitioning authorities.

So what do you think? Is this good for America?

So much bullshit going on, what with all the politics, gay rights issue, it's quick descent into a third-world country.

But most importantly it's definition of "freedom" seems to only include the rich. I agree with the 99% movement. It's just annoying that we have to have one.

But then again it's not only going on in America. But there's this, plus the other things I've mentioned.

I'm just glad I live in Canada. America has far too many problems.
