    I don't know if you have heard of this 'movement' in the US who are protesting in huge numbers on Wall Street, NYC (my work mates hadn't). It has spread to other major cities, like LA, as well and as far as I can work out no one knows what they are protesting over.

    I was listening to 5 Live's Up All Night programme on my way home from work last night and they were interviewing someone who seems to think he is one of the leaders. The guy couldn't even give a clear answer as to what the protest is about or what they hope to achieve by holding the protests. There also doesn't seem to be any real leadership to the 'movement' as it seems to be another case of going along with the crowd.

    American sheepism at it's very best.

    That's the thing. How are outsiders supposed to know when the people protesting don't know?
