I think that the wall street protests of an effective use of freedom of speech. Although I feel like the protestors are blaming wall street a bit more than necessary, they are under the full right to do so. In my opinion, the protestors have good reasons to be fighting against wall street but they seem ignorant to the fact that it could be something else as well. They are just looking for someone to blame because that's how our society works; we place blame on other and not ourselves. I'm interested to see how the protests turn out and whether or not there are changes made in wall street. Even though people may not agree with them, the protestors are simply executing their Constitutional rights.

I will be very interested to see what kind of reaction the protesters get too. After all, how can Washington ignore this protest? It seems like they have the backing of the majority of the Nation, so ignoring Occupy Wall Street is in effect ignoring the American people as a whole.

I agree with you Kira that the protestors have every right to be protesting Wall Street. I think it's sad that our society is always looking for someone else to blame when things are bad instead of first looking at themselves. I also am interested to see how Washington will handle this situation.
