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

Yeah the guy talking is the 5%. The 50 or so people milling around wondering what the hell he is talking about are the other 95%. I say so because I bet 99% of Americans have no idea what it is. I was giving the minority that does some credit for showing up.

My wife has 3 masters degrees (animal science, bio and an MBA), asked her last night if she had ever heard of it. "Nope"

I have a BS in Biology and Chemistry, a BS in Veterinary Science, and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and I've heard of it. "Yep".



I guess I'm missing your point Unless it's that your wife is in the minority of the 23% that "don't have an opinion"?

The conservative criticism of the Occupy Wall Street movement is that it is a "growing mob" (House majority leader Eric Cantor) of "shiftless protestors" (The Tea Party Express) engaged in "class warfare" (GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain) whose grievances - whatever they are - are far outside the political mainstream.

The polls don't back that up.

A new survey out from Time Magazine found that 54 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of the protests, while just 23 percent have a negative impression.

An NBC/Wall Street Journal survey, meanwhile, found that 37 percent of respondents "tend to support" the movement, while only 18 percent "tend to oppose" it.

The findings suggest that the right's portrait of the movement as a collection of lazy hippies who need to stop whining - to "take a shower and get a job" (Bill O'Reilly) - isn't resonating with most Americans.

All that education and you cant follow along? He was referring to Glass-Steagle. Virtually no one knows what that is. Hell there are polls taken that show 50% of americans cant identify their congressman or senator.

Then I guess these protesters are vastly better informed on the financial and economic issues involving this country than the average American. We know they are already more politically active and involved in their citizenship duties.

I thought they represented 99%? Face it there is virtually no segment of americans where 40% have heard of Glass-Steagle.

Point is there are educated people who have not heard of it. As I am quite sure (now anyway) that there are uneducated people that have.
