Well, Occupy Wall Street is marching on Wall Street and the government now. Exactly over things like the repeal of Glass-Steagal.

I would be willing to bet that less than 5% of the people marching have ever heard of Glass-Steagal.

Umm ... from hearing them being interviewed, I'd guess at least 30-40% have heard of Glass-Steagal. Alot of them sound fully informed, and directly reference the removal of laws that protected us from Wall Street malfeasance over the years. That is what OWS is all about. Let's hope they know about it.

Yeah ok this is just about fairly obscure financial laws that were repealed a decade and a half ago? 5% was on the high side.

If you look at with internet blogs and discussions from the OWS crowd, you'd know they talk about that all the time, as they want it re-instated. It's a major contributor to the current financial disaster OWS is all about.

You don't ever bother to click on a link, or read anything different? No curiosity about this at all?

They say this alot: "First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win" - Ghandi

I guess you guys are at ridicule stage. There is fear it will get ugly in NY tomorrow morning, however, and move into the fight state, as they are going to try and pull the demonstraters out of the park. Let's hope the police don't lose it and become as violent as the Boston PD did the other night.

At least we'll find out how law-abiding/peaceful they are tomorrow at 7am. EST.

Besides isn't it time to go back to their jobs and families, you know being part of the 99%?

They were law abiding and peaceful in Boston, where the police attacked and beat the Veterans for Peace, while destroying their flags - nobody raised a finger against the police as they were hauled to jail.

They've always been law-abiding and peaceful in NY for the month so far. Even in the face of police brutality. Why would you think they would not be?

The plan is complete peaceful resistance at this stage. Timing is good, it can be televised live on the morning shows. Bloomberg will suffer, OWS is too popular with the public.

Lec Walesa is going to join them, but nobody knows for sure what time he'll get to New York.

Showing a guy holding a sign is proof that 40% of the people there are knowledgable about Glass -Steagle. 40% of the people there dont have any clue why they are there they just know it is the in thing to do.

Showing that the protesters discuss and hold up signs about Glass-Stegall is alot more proof that they are aware of it, than you saying that less than 5% of protesters don't know anything about it just because you say so

If you would bother to watch some of the videos about these guys, it's clear that they know what they are talking about reference what has destroyed our economy.

And you merely saying, "No, they don't!" , isn't any accurate commentary about "what they know" at all
