Occupy Wall Street goes global

     So yesterday, I was in Duluth MN walking down to lunch when I saw a bunch of people all gathered around holding signs and one man was playing electric guitar.  I knew that they were protesting, but it took me a minute to figure out what for. Then I saw the sign : TAX THE RICH, and it dawned on me! They were protesting against unjust capitalism, just like the people on Wall Street. This, right there was SO exciting for me. To see protesting right in my home state!  So, the point of this story, is that more and more people all around the U.S. are protesting for their rights. Even the countries around the world are starting to protest! I was just on Twitter looking for people to follow on the protesting and Twitter came up with lists upon lists of " Occupy Atlanta", "Occupy Boston", "Occupy Nashville", " Occupy Phoenix", "Occupy Madison", "Occupy Philly".  And it goes on and on. Almost every state and major city.  Also, other countries are starting to protest, like, Australia, Cleveland, Tokyo, London, Rome, Alaska, South Korea, and so on. 
     I do have to point something out.  I don't know if you watched the Zeitgeist Movie - Moving Forward, but in the end, the people rebel.  There is a scene where they are pushing against the police, protesting, all around the world. Now in this link below (VIDEO), there is a scene in the beginning (before the interview), where the people are pushing up against the police, just like in the movie. All over the world. Could this be it? Could this be the uprising of the people? The uprising for change? For equality? Are the people finally standing up? Is this it?
