We Are 99% Confused.

As I was exploring the great city of Chicago last night, I randomly stumbled onto the Occupy Chicago protestor parade which was en route to Grant Park... So naturally I jumped in the queue to see what they're all about.


When we got to the park, a half hour was spent laying down the ground rules for the forum. Then they asked the first speaker to make a proposal, but nobody spoke.  It was a meeting to discuss further meetings and few if any solutions were proposed with this particular group.  In my mind, the only solid proposal to counter corporate greed is to encourage people to close their accounts with large corporate banking institutions and to put their money in local banks or credit unions.  


Other than that, it mostly felt like one big gripefest.
