Wall Street..The Movement for the masses

A long time coming…

but the beginning has happened. The match has been struck and the flame is increasing and spreading. Two months ago Occupy Wall street began and has spread to cities and campuses  around the country and world.

Here in the “wealthiest” nation on the planet  a “movement” by the working class, now, joining hands with the unions and middle class out of work. History has offered a preview of these times. At the risk of scaring someone we will try to avoid those well known “phrases”.

The “working class” is a larger and more diverse group than defined as such in the past. The common factor with the past  is still the difference in pay or income compared to the upper or “safe middle class” or the wealthy.

The 99%  is now insisting on recognition,  inclusion, the cessation of bigotry and a balance in the distribution of wealth.

The linkage around the globe, the changes in the governments in Libya, Egypt and Mid-East all ring with the sound of “change.” This new world is connected and no filters or barriers can keep the truth from being known. This is a truly historic moment  we are living in now.

The efforts thus far expended seem to have been  slowed or measured and controlled. The desperate symptoms of revolution and upheaval have not yet taken place here or in many modern societies. There is a possibility that these drastic and often bloody moments may not be necessary for the eventual complete change .

The realities of today are channeled by overwhelming new technology and the fact that people are  embracing education on every level. Literacy is now a shared blessing that fortifies the exchange of information and planning of events.

The qualities and vulnerabilities that we humans share far outweigh our petite trivial differences. The earth can provide for all of us in abundance providing we are caring and protective of each other. We have entered these times of change more united and with greater compassion than ever before. Wall Street is a fitting restart.

The movement shall not be any longer delayed.
