All’s fair in love and war.

Occupy wall street is an ongoing people powered series of protests in New York city, that took inspiration from the Arab Spring movement in Tahrir Square protests in Cairo. Protestors want to end the monied corruption of democracy, and economic inequality. The focus is on corporate greed, lack of opportunity and the large gap between the rich and poor. The movement has spread across major cities in USA, using social media they are calling on everyone to join the cause and stop the lobbyists on government who influence the govt with corporate money.
After a month the movement is also taking on the overtones of a sex, drugs and rock and roll reminiscent pf the 196o’s free love situation. Complimentary condoms have helped couples make out in the tents provided for protestors, creating a hippie type of ambience.
As Warren Buffet stated “Wall Street is the only place that people rode into in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway”(train). TOI
