Occupy Wall Street: 'We're Mad As Hell and We're Not Going to Take It Anymore': "The CEOs of Wall Street firms disrupted the lives of hundreds of millions. Why are protestors the ones who are getting arrested?
A few months ago Nassim Taleb, author of The Black Swan, an influential book about the crucial importance of unpredictable, unforeseen events on our financial system, was asked whether the hundreds of thousands taking to the streets in Greece was a Black Swan event.

I think we are getting it now. I hope so, or else there is no hope.
Now that the Unions are joining in I hope the numbers swell like crazy this coming weekend. I want to see this get bigger than the Wisconsin protests!
