I really like Charlie Rose.... The CBS coverage was good too.
And it's good that the Americans are inspiring the rest of the world about this.

I don't know anything about its impact in Europe, but here in the States, it's had a pretty huge effect, at least judging by what people are saying. I haven't watched the news, but hundreds of people on facebook have mentioned this, posted pictures of people with the cardboard signs, etc.

A friend came out here from Long Island last weekend to visit, and when he returned to NYC, he posted: "Back in New York today. Something has definitely changed."

End of last week, a friend of mine from Seattle posted information on "Occupy Seattle" with a number to text to, and he writes, "Got a phone?" It seems to be taking place all over.

They have my complete support.

Regardless of what they're calling it, "anarchy" is not far from what I'm seeing.. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Maybe it's just me, but the disillusionment with capitalism seems to be effervescing at a point in the capitalistic game where it's becoming obvious that the advantaged parties present to the disadvantaged parties a cat's game, a stalemate, an unwinnable situation. In other words, as soon as people start to realize The Banker is cheating, they lose interest in the whole Monopoly game.

Then again.. how long was it like this, and well worse, in Greece? And, did anything change there? Ничего не знаю ... вот такие вот пироги
