Hi "T"
Hows life?
Did you ask any of your female Students about making some cash to pay their loans via my website idea?
Anyway, this "Demo" will FAIL......as soon as it gets cold.

Hm.. well my reply just got deleted... and I can't face writing the whole thing out again, here is the summarised version:
- Hope you well
- Clan *T* survives
- I do engineering, unfortunately we do not get many female students

- I recall Billy Brag singing the Internationale on the steps of the BoE, and Lombard St is quiet again. So perhaps you are right. But without enjoyment of the moment, there is no joy in life...

they certainly have captured the attention of the 'objects of their effection'

Wall Street Protesters Plan to Stay Awhile

Participants in the “Occupy Wall Street” attempt to disrupt commutes in the Financial District.

Much of Wall Street remained barricaded to foot and road traffic Monday morning as hundreds of protesters continued a demonstration against U.S. financial institutions.

There have been a handful of arrests but New York City police said the protest has been largely peaceful. The demonstrators—organized on Twitter and other social media—had promised to “occupy Wall Street” but have largely stuck to Liberty Plaza and Zuccotti Park after authorities set up road blocks.
Protesters said they have no plans to leave any time soon.
“There is plan to basically stay here until we can build enough people to bring a strong message,” said Joel Atkinson, 21, of Columbus, Oh. Referring to the spring’s mass uprising in Tahrir Square in Cairo that eventually unseated President Hosni Mubarak, he added: “We’re trying to model this after the uprising in Egypt.”
Members of the group banged drums and carried signs that read ‘Yes to Equality, No to Austerity,’ and ‘No such thing as ‘too big to fail”.
Most had spent the night outdoors in the Financial District. Some held a candlelight vigil, while, they said, some police officers made sheep sounds.
“People brought in some dumpster food. There was some packaged watermelon,” said Mimi Ator, a 20-year-old student at the University of Washington, who’d traveled from Seattle and said she was on vacation.
Atkinson’s girlfriend, Jennifer Gable, 25, said that police, though out in large numbers, have remained low-key.
“The cops have to stay here as long as we do. I’ve seen a lot of conversations between occupiers and police,” Gable said. “I think they’re happy we’re contained. We’re happy we’re contained.”

God I hope these people are all on social assistance / unemployment benefits / food stamps. I can't think of a better social "dividend" than having the un or under-employed harassing the extractive industries on behalf of all those "employed" Westerners slowly but surely sinking into the quicksand of private - whoops - now public debt than that. Given our vacant politics, speed their plow
