I am amazed & happy to see so many people in NYC & throughout the country who are PEACEFULLY protesting about the economic conditions that exist here & in Europe.

When we witnessed the young, educated, unemployed people of the Middle East last Spring - why did we not see that the young, educated & unemployed people of the US would do the same?

At this point I would not (could not) look at these protests & say they are as siginificant as the Civil RIghts...
