Our mainstream media seems rather reluctant to report on the ongoing occupation of Wall St. in the good ol' US of A. They are always keen to show protests in those nasty foreign countries where the people don't behave like us here in the free and democratic West. When they do report mass demonstrations in the West it is always in a bad light, we in the West are never portrayed as freedom fighters but more as thugs and hooligans intent on mindless criminality. However, the demonstrations against the Western corporate capitalist mess we are in at the moment will not just stay in Greece. There have been mass demonstrations in Italy, Spain, France and here in the UK there are plans for mass demonstrations later in the year, (organise now). We can accept that the ordinary people will take so much shit and then they start to hit back, and that applies across the globe. I think we in the West are just about at that limit of shit we will take, before we hit back.
